Packers fans react to All-Pro’s new injury update
David Bakhtiari seemed to have turned a corner in the previous couple of weeks. The All-Pro offensive tackle had made appearances during the Green Bay Packers’ last four games. He played 69 snaps in Week 6 against the New York Jets. More than that, he played at a high level. According to Pro Football Focus, Bakhtiari was rated 85.2 overall for his blocking against the Jets. However, a new report from the Packers is giving Packers fans concerns.
Bakhtiari has been back and forth with rehab since his injury in 2020. It looks like the saga isn’t over yet. According to Zach Kruse, Bakhtiari told Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated that he is day-to-day.
Packers LT David Bakhtiari now questionable. He told @BillHuberNFL that he’s truly day to day with his knee, even now.

According to a statement by the Packers, Bakhtiari is now questionable for Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders.
Packers fans respond to the update
Packers fans have been frustrated with Bakhtiari’s rehab process. Bakhtiari signed an expensive contract just weeks before the severe injury. He hasn’t been on the field as much as fans would hope, given the bill, the Packers are paying the star offensive tackle. Following the report released by the Packers Saturday, fans took to Twitter to express their feelings. There were mixed responses.

David bakhtiari is a bust after his knee injury. Should just get him off the team.

I’m sure Aaron Rodgers agrees with that one Ken.
