David Bakhtiari Will Return Against Vikings
2 years agoGreen Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari (appendix) doesn't carry an injury designation into the Week 17 game against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings and will play for the first time since having appendicitis. He hasn't played since Week 12. The 31-year-old's return couldn't come at a better time for the Packers in another must-win game against the current No. 2 seed in the NFL. The Vikings won't be resting anyone either, as they're still in play for the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye in the postseason. While Bakhtiari will be back this weekend, it remains to be seen if he'll be on the field for every offensive snap as quarterback Aaron Rodgers' blind-side protector.
