The Packers suffered a major blow before trying to gain the advantage of playing at home during the NFC playoffs.
Left striker David Bakhtiari suffered a knee injury late in the season today in training, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
Although the diagnosis is not confirmed until Bakhtiari does an MRI scan, it is believed to be a ruptured ACL, which may also affect its availability for the start of the 2021 season.
Bakhtiari was chosen for this year’s Pro Bowl list and is one of the best players on the NFL offensive line. His stellar game is a major contributor to Aaron Rodgers ‘candidacy for MVP and the Packers’ success as a team.
Last month, Bakhtiari signed a $ 103.5 million four-year contract that made him the highest-paid striker in NFL history.
