GREEN BAY — The Green Bay Packers’ road to Super Bowl LV got significantly more difficult Thursday evening as the team learned the knee injury franchise left tackle David Bakhitiari suffered during practice earlier in the day is likely a season-ending ACL tear.
NFL Network first reported the Packers believed Bakhtiari’s injury was a torn ACL, and a source confirmed the team does indeed fear the worst following initial tests after practice. One Packers player who was on the field at the time was surprised by the news because the injury did not appear serious as the time, he said.
