3 Green Bay Packers Off to Slow Starts In Training Camp

Packers Off to Slow Starts to Training Camp: David Bakhtiari

There’s no doubt about Bakhtiari’s prowess when he graces the football field. His recent performances served as a compelling reminder of his dominance, showcasing his remarkable abilities. Following a hiatus of over a year, he impressively secured the 12th-highest PFF grade among left tackles during the 2023 season.

Nevertheless, the old adage that “availability is the best ability” rings true. Bakhtiari’s availability has been notably constrained, even during training camp practices. A case in point from the past week underscores this concern. Bakhtiari exited practice prematurely on Tuesday and was conspicuously absent on both Thursday and Saturday (with Friday designated as an off day).

While Bakhtiari’s individual requirements might differ, his presence on the field undeniably contributes to the team’s cohesion and synergy. It raises concerns that he is encountering difficulties in managing his workload during the initial phases of training camp.
