Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is instituting a moratorium on turf-related discourse.
Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari was out for the team's 25-24 Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons due to a knee injury. Some wondered whether Mercedes-Benz Stadium's artificial playing surface had a role in the two-time All-Pro's decision not to play.
LaFleur told reporters Monday that Bakhtiari still had swelling in his knee, so he likely wouldn't have suited up if the Packers had been competing on natural grass. The coach then made it clear he was no longer going to entertain the conversation.
