Packers staying quiet on Bakhtiari's status for Sunday

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur says he knows whether 2020 All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari will make his 2021 debut Sunday at Kansas City.

He just isn’t planning to announce whether the 2020 All-Pro will be available in an attempt to make the Chiefs have to prepare for either scenario.

Bakhtiari hasn’t played since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on Dec. 31.

He began the season on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he had to sit out the first six games.
