GREEN BAY — David Bakhtiari wasn’t concerned at first.
The Green Bay Packers All-Pro left tackle had sprained ankles plenty of times playing sports growing up — hence his very technical “typical basketball sprained ankle” self-diagnosis Monday — and he didn’t think he’d done any major damage during the team’s Family Night practice on Saturday.
Then the Packers’ medical staff told him not to put any weight on the ankle and sent him to the locker room riding shotgun in a medical cart.
“It was weird. It didn’t really feel bad, just kind of putting some weight into it and (then the trainers) just told me no,” Bakhtiari said after missing Monday’s practice.
