Packers LT David Bakhtiari tells story of ‘nightmare’ recovery from knee surgery

In an interview with Aaron Nagler of CheeseheadTV, Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari opened up about his knee injury and the frustrating recovery process he called a “nightmare.”

Bakhtiari said his year-long recovery from a torn ACL was plagued by setbacks, including swelling, fluid build-up and additional damage inside the reconstructed knee.

After making his season debut in the season finale in Detroit, Bakhtiari tried to get through a week of practice in the leadup to the divisional round but didn’t feel right, and he ended up missing the Packers’ playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.
