GREEN BAY – Don Barclay’s comeback from a torn ACL got a lot more challenging this week.
With David Bakhtiari sitting out practice with a sore knee, Barclay moved from right to left tackle, and for the first time on Sunday in Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh native will be taking NFL game snaps as Aaron Rodgers’ blindside protector.
It’ll be a big moment for the versatile fourth-year pro, who until this week had practiced at each of the other four offensive line positions for the Packers.
He’ll get a chance to show not only that he’s closer to being all the way back from last year’s season-ending injury, but also that he can be the next man up at the premier position on the offensive line.
