Packers expected to start rookie Zach Tom at left tackle vs. Commanders

With David Bakhtiari out on Sunday against the Washington Commanders, the Green Bay Packers are expected to make a big change at left tackle.

Instead of using Yosh Nijman on the left side, rookie Zach Tom would start in place of Bakhtiari, with Nijman playing right tackle, Elgton Jenkins sliding inside to left guard and Jon Runyan moving from left guard to right guard.

That’s how the Packers lined up along the offensive line during pre-game warmups, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.

Bakhtiari is dealing with knee discomfort and is inactive on Sunday, creating an expected twist to the offensive line shakeup in Week 7.
