It wasn't shocking to find out David Bakhtiari will be sitting out offseason workouts, but it was still troubling. After resting his bothersome left knee for five months, it would've been nice to see the perennial All-Pro taking snaps with the starters rather than rehabbing with players who were injured many months after he suffered [...]

I also believe one of those rookies will step up, become a competent LT.

If you want to want to worry, worry. If you don't, don't.

However DB69's participation, or lack thereof, in these OTA should not be the reason. The guy knows the offense inside out....what is the point of his participation?!?!? Seriously?

What if he tweaked his knee in these OTA's? Everyone would be bitching about his participation in meaningless reps to be stupid (and they are.) He should participate to show US he is ok? So we can feel warm and fuzzy? Grow up.

Give the reps to the young guys.

I think it was Ken Ruttgers who always sat out the July August two a days, with a lame excuse or contract dispute, then 2 weeks before the season came to terms. By his 5th or 6th year, he didn't need the reps and 2-a-days, were, and are, a giant pain in the ass, especially for an experienced tackle.

I would rather see the reps go to the kids.
Go Packers!!!!

My biggest worry is all the money pissed away in his contract extension. His injury occured before the ink was dry. Sucks for everyone if he cant get back on the field this year.

Late in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's career he needed some minor surgery. I forget the details let's pretend he needed to have his knee scoped to clean up some debris. He waited until practice started again before he had the work done. When the media complained and asked him why he waited so long. He could have had it done right after the last season ended. If he had it done sooner he wouldn't miss any games. His response was that he was on vacation. He didn't want to be hobbled and going through the recovery process while on vacation when he could do that in training camp and the first part of the season. He pointed out that he would still be there when the playoffs rolled around and that was the important part of the season.
