Key Offensive Linemen to Miss Week 1 for Green Bay Packers
The #Packers are expected to be without LT David Bakhtiari (knee), RT Elgton Jenkins (pectoral/knee) and WR Allen Lazard (ankle) today against the #Vikings, sources tell me and @RapSheet.

Yosh Nijman slated to start in Bakhtiari’s place on Aaron Rodgers’ blind side.
Bakhtiari returned to practice earlier this offseason after a devastating ACL tear cost him the 2020 postseason and all but one game of 2021. Jenkins suffered a similar ACL injury in Week 11 of the 2021 season and had been participating in team drills. Their absence could spell disaster for a Packers offense that is already missing Davante Adams and Allen Lazard, last year's top two leading receivers.
