With Humor, Bakhtiari Recalls ‘Dark Days’ Following ACL Injury

GREEN BAY, Wis. – David Bakhtiari’s surgically repaired knee isn’t in All-Pro form. His comedy skill, however, remains elite.

Coming off a torn ACL that ended his season just before the start of the 2020 NFL playoffs, the Green Bay Packers’ stud left tackle went through another on-field rehab workout during Day 1 of minicamp on Tuesday. Might he be ready for Week 1 of the regular season at New Orleans in 96 days?

“I’ve got no problem saying I will 100 percent be ready for the start of training camp – in 2022,” Bakhtiari said with a smile.
