Is David Bakhtiari playing tonight? Packers LT’s Week 4 status explored 

Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari has dealt with major knee issues in the last few seasons. He played only 11 games last season, and the year before, the 31-year-old player made only one appearance.

He played in Week 1 this season for the Packers against the Chicago Bears but has missed two straight games since then. Unfortunately for the Green Bay Packers, Bakhtiari will not play in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions as well, as he's still dealing with knee issues for which he had surgery in 2020.

Bakhtiari is on the injured reserve and will miss at least the next four games. There's a possibility that he might not play at all this season.

In 2020, he signed a four-year $92 million contract extension with the Packers. Since then, though, he has barely played for the franchise. His situation is undoubtedly a major concern for the franchise, which is off to a great start in their without Aaron Rodgers.

David Bakhtiari is one of the best left tackles in the league when healthy, but his lack of availability could see him get traded. In his absence, Rasheed Walker will start his third straight game as the left tackle

David Bakhtiari is out, but Christian Watson and Aaron Jones are back for the Packers in Week 4

Green Bay Packers vs Chicago Bears

The Packers will be without David Bakhtiari in Week 4, but Christian Watson and Aaron Jones are available to play. Their presence will be a huge boost for the franchise as they look to continue the momentum from last week's thrilling 18-17 win over the New Orleans Saints.

Watson will make his season debut against the Lions, and Jordan Love will have another weapon to work with. The second-year receiver played quite well last season, so there are high expectations from him this season.

Watson missed the first three games of the season due to a hamstring injury, but now that he's healthy, he will look to make an immediate impact. He played 14 games last season and recorded 41 receptions for 611 yards and scored nine touchdowns.
