GREEN BAY — If the Green Bay Packers have to get into a shootout with the Houston Texans on Sunday, they’ll likely have to do it without their franchise tackle, David Bakhtiari. And they may have to do it without their No. 1 running back, Aaron Jones, and their top pass-catching tight end, Robert Tonyan.
Bakhtiari, who suffered what is listed as a chest injury on the team’s injury report, did not practice throughout the week and is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game in Houston. Coach Matt LaFleur said the veteran left tackle, who has made 50 consecutive starts dating back to 2017, is pushing to play through the injury and will be given the chance to show the team’s medical staff in pregame warmups he can go.
