GREEN BAY — Elgton Jenkins’ season is over, and the Green Bay Packers still don’t know when — or if — David Bakhtiari’s will begin.
That was the long and short of the Packers’ situation at left tackle on Monday afternoon, one day after Jenkins suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during the team’s 34-31 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Jenkins underwent tests Monday that confirmed the team’s initial fears that the injury, which occurred with 13 minutes, 30 seconds remaining in the game, would end Jenkins’ season.
“It’s unfortunate,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Monday afternoon.
