Per reports he blew his ACL out in practice today. Likely lost for start of 2021 season as well.
Shit happens.

Source: #Packers standout LT David Bakhtiari suffered a season-ending knee injury today in practice. The belief is that he tore his ACL. Just crushing.

Jenkins, Runyan, Linsley, Wagner, Turner.
That’s it.
Work the problem gentleman.
Reason to roll boys.
Elghton, we BELIEVE in you, young man.
They played without him earlier in the year, They know the drill.
Buck Cherry’s health this year is just so 2020. Multiple broken ribs earlier in the season. Now a blown ACL.
2020 can officially just itself.
Coming off their best performance of the year. Next man up. Too far invested to pack it in now.
Bummer.
SO its: Jenkins, Patrick, Linsley, Turner and hopefully Wagner back.
Wagner didn't practice Wed, limited practice today. If not it's Rookie Runyon in the mix. We need bye to get rest and reps with new O Lineup.
Would they activate Stepaniak for depth on the O Line?
Not sure why everyone thinks Jenkins gets kicked out to LT. It may be Turner with Patrick (yuck) at RG.
Turner played LT last time he was out. If Wagner is back shouldn't be an issue. Otherwise, they seem to have been good at shuffling to get the best lineup.
I'm sure he's glad he signed his new contract when he did. Wishing him a speedy recovery and the Packers the ability to keep rolling. Get it done!
Yeah...Happy New Year 🤬
Linsley being back should help too. I think they should keep Jenkins at LG.
Rodgers needs to be ready & you know he will.
I fully expect Khalil Mack to test out whoever plays LT

Plus, they have to account for Hicks. If Wagner can’t go then I would assume Jenkins would got to RT and Turner to LT but that’s a lot of shuffling inside.
It really makes you appreciate how much better our depth and / or coaching on o-line is right now. Wagner, Patrick , Runyan are worlds better than Spriggs, McCray, Barclay.
we've been relatively lucky so far. it sucks. I was glad it wasn't covid.
how'd you like to be Fitzpatrick in MIA?
More players testing pos today. Post holiday surge could really f up some rosters in a couple weeks/playoffs.
Losing Bakhtiari in practice is especially painful for the Packers because they were taking part in a non-padded practice, which generally precludes the players from having sudden or violent contact. Even with pads, there is no tackling, but without them, the players rarely go to the ground or get tangled up.
I’m thinking we see a lot of Fling A Fak and Chubs Dafney.

This x1000. Criticize Gute for a lot of things, but you look at where depth was in TTs last year vs. now and it makes you appreciate Gute a lot more. Look at the snap counts from 2017, total shit show...
Not ideal, obviously, but they've been relatively healthy all season for the most part. Can Snax play O-line?
Veldheer went to volts ps today if we need him we can sign him maybe? Although it’s a huge loss - we can manage to some level. But make no bones about it - this is a huge loss- he’s a rock there
2020 had to get one more fucking jab in, didn’t it...
