Bakhtiari had missed three consecutive games leading up to his placement on IR. Given his history with knee issues, it is unclear when or if the veteran tackle will return this season.

He's one of the best left tackles in football when he's healthy and on the field, so his absence is less than ideal for Jordan Love and Green Bay's running backs against the Lions.
