David Bakhtiari
33-Year-Old
Free Agent
Questionable
Injury Knee
Est. Return 12/22/2024
On schedule for return
Bakhtiari (knee) had a positive follow-up exam with Dr. Brian Cole and is on schedule to be cleared to play during the 2024 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bakhtiari was released by the Packers in March, but he previously stated he had every intention of suiting up somewhere for the 2024 campaign as long as he was healthy enough to do so. The two-time first-team All-Pro offensive tackle likely will be able to garner interest from multiple NFL teams once he can start working out for them.

Health remains a concern for Bakhtiari, but he also remains one of the best left tackles in the game when healthy. His presence -- or lack thereof -- will be pivotal to the success of Green Bay's offense in its first year with Jordan Love at the helm.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Option for Kansas City
Kansas City could look to Bakhtiari to stabilize their left tackle position, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bakhtiari has been limited to only one game in two of the last three seasons while dealing with ongoing knee issues. He's also remained a free agent for the entire 2024 season, but there is some speculation he'd return to the field for the chance to contend for a Super Bowl. Kansas City also has a need at left tackle, as they've gotten inconsistent play from the combination of Wanya Morris, who is currently dealing with a knee injury, and Kingsley Sumataia.
