David Bakhtiari addressed the media on Friday and confirmed that he will not be returning to the field for the rest of this season. The former All Pro left tackle had surgery on his injured knee earlier this week and will have another procedure which will be more invasive shortly. The goal for Bakhtiari is to play again in 2024.
The big question is whether that will be with the Green Bay Packers. Bakhtiari is under contract for next season but there is no way the Packers will allow him to play under his current deal which calls for a cap hit of more than $40.
