Packers-Seahawks Injury Report Bakhtiari from seestyle's blog

GREEN BAY, Wis. Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari was activated from the physically unable to Joe Smith Jersey perform list this week but his return to the lineup will be at least another week away.Bakhtiari didnt practice on Friday. Afterward, coach Matt LaFleur listed Bakhtiari as doubtful for Sundays game against the Seattle Seahawks.Not a setback. Just part of the proce s, LaFleur said of Bakhtiari not practicing.Perhaps not, but the timeline is interesting. Bakhtiari returned to practice on Oct. 20, the week of the game against Washington. The Packers practiced three days that week, with Bakhtiari on the field for all of them. The team didnt have a true practice on a short week for Arizona but had four practices before last weeks game against Kansas City. Bakhtiari was on the field for all of those, as well. This week, he practiced on Wednesday and Thursday but wasnt spotted in the Don Hutson Center or the practice field on Friday.Like I told you guys before, its going to be day to day, LaFleur said. Its just part of the proce s.Bakhtiari signed a four-year contract extension worth $92 million on Nov. 15 almost exactly a year ago that briefly made him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history. Hes under contract through 2024. Regardle s of how Bakhtiari is feeling today, there has to be a long-term viewpoint on his comeback. Bakhtiari tore the ACL in his left knee at practice on New Years Eve. Sundays game at Kansas City marked exactly 10 months since he had surgery.When will the team and Bakhtiari know that the time is right to take that final step and return to action?Its when he can Rick Mahorn Jersey go out there and compete at your best ability, LaFleur said. I would say thats pretty much the most important thing is just a player coming Terry Mills Jersey off that type of injury, its the confidence. And you get that confidence by going through practice and stacking those days back-to-back-to-back.The Packers will play at the Minnesota Vikings next week, then return home to face the Los Angeles Rams. After that, theyll get their bye week.Scroll to ContinueWith Bakhtiari unlikely to play, the Packers figure to line up against Seattle with Elgton Jenkins at left tackle, Jon Runyan at left guard, Lucas Patrick at center, Royce Newman at right guard and Billy Turner at right tackle for the fourth consecutive week.Jenkins has been one of the teams most valuable players. In six starts, hes allowed only two sacks, according to Pro Football Focus.I was taking to Elgton and he says he feels at home at left tackle, Runyan said. Hes just a football player. You can put him anywhere on the offensive line at any point in the game without any practice reps and hell go in there and hell do it. Hes a really special player like that. Really smart. Knows everything thats going on. Its amazing to watch the stuff hes able to Ben Wallace Jersey do and the stuff he knows going out there. Hes so natural and comfortable out there on the edge.Meanwhile, two key starters defensive tackle Kenny Clark and cornerback Eric Stokes are questionable. Tight end Dominique Dafney and defensive tackle Kingsley Keke joined Bakhtiari as doubtful.Anytime you avoid a significant injury, you feel like you dodge (a bullet), LaFleur said of Stokes, who didn't play vs. Kansas City after a pregame knee injury.For Seattle, running back Chris Carson will not be activated from injured reserve and will mi Ersan Ilyasova Jersey s a fifth consecutive game with a neck injury. but added, I just dont feel like its time to do it yet; he hasnt had enough time to evaluate it. He had two good, hard days, and we just quite didnt clear it enough. Hes dying to play, but we need to make sure that we are doing the right thing, so we are going to take care of him this week and see what happens next week.Packers Injury ReportDoubtful: LT David Bakhtiari (knee), TE Dominique Dafney (hamstring), DT Kingsley Keke (concu sion).Questionable: DT Kenny Clark (back), WR Equanimeous St. Brown (ankle), CB Eric Stokes (knee).Seahawks Injury ReportOut: CB Ble s Austin (personal), S Marquise Blair (knee), LB Cody Barton (quad).Questionable: DT Al Woods (personal).
