The Green Bay Packers have activated left tackle David Bakhtiari from the physically unable to perform list on Wednesday, per the league’s transaction wire. Bakhtiari spent the season, up to this point, on PUP following the recovery of his 2020 ACL injury, which has led to both Elgton Jenkins, typically the team’s starting left guard, and Yosh Nijman to make starts at left tackle this season.
Bakhtiari, a five-time All-Pro bookend, essentially had to be activated this week, whether he is ready to play or not, as the 21-day window to move him up to the 53-man roster this season was triggered when he began to practice with the team on October 18th.
