David Bakhtiari Latest News
On schedule for return
Bakhtiari (knee) had a positive follow-up exam with expert Dr. Brian Cole, and Cole proclaimed him on schedule for a 2024 season return, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Bakhtiari was released by the Packers in March, but previously stated he had every intention of suiting up somewhere for the 2024 campaign, as long as he was healthy enough to do so. The two-time first-team All-Pro tackle likely will be able to garner interest from multiple NFL teams once he can start working out for them.
Not done yet
Bakhtiari (knee) plans to play in 2024, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Bakhtiari was released by the Packers last Monday after missing the majority of the team's games since late 2020 due to complications with his left knee. However, that doesn't mean he's ready to hang up his cleats. According to Rapoport, the 32-year-old is diligently rehabbing and focused on returning to play. If Bakhtiari can prove himself healthy, the two-time first-team All-Pro tackle likely will be able to garner interest from multiple NFL teams.
Released by Green Bay
Bakhtiari was released by the Packers with a failed physical designation Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. The five-time All-Pro appeared in just one game in 2023 due to swelling in his knee. Bakhtiari tore his ACL in 2020 and has appeared in just 13 games since then. The 2013 fourth-round pick has played all 11 of his NFL seasons with the Packers.
To be let go
Bakhtiari will be released by the Packers ahead of the start of the new league year Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Bakhtiari has struggled to stay on the field since suffering an ACL tear in 2020, which has led to him appearing in just 13 games since the injury happened. He missed all but one game in the 2023 campaign after he dealt with swelling in his knee, which led to him undergoing multiple procedures. A three-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro in his prime, the veteran offensive lineman was hopeful to be healthy in 2024. If so, he'll have to do so with a new team after spending 11 years in Green Bay.
