GREEN BAY – David Bakhtiari was writhing on the ground in pain just after Ty Montgomery cut inside his block to score a second rushing touchdown last Sunday in Dallas.
Diving Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee had missed tackling Montgomery and crashed into the back of Bakhtiari’s leg as the Packers’ star left tackle was engaged with linebacker Damien Wilson.
Bakhtiari stayed down for a while, getting attended to. Replays showed his knee getting twisted a little awkwardly. He limped slowly off the field.
And missed all of three snaps.
“That kind of all explains it,” said left guard Lane Taylor, who has played next to Bakhtiari all season.
