On Monday, head coach Matt LaFleur commented on the status of the two players who can possibly return to the Packers’ 53-man roster this week off of the injury lists: offensive tackle David Bakhtiari and wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling. LaFleur was hesitant to commit to Bakhtiari playing against the Washington Football Team but did say that he will begin practicing this week. Bakhtiari, who is recovering from a 2020 ACL injury, will have 21 days to return to Green Bay’s 53-man roster once he begins to practice with the team.
Things are less optimistic for Valdes-Scantling, who LaFleur said may practice this week.
