The Packers are trending toward having three key offensive linemen return for the playoffs.
Left tackle David Bakhtiari practiced Wednesday for the first time since Week 15. He has not played a game since suffering a torn ACL in his left knee on New Year's Eve 2020.
ProFootballDoc, Dr. David Chao said that based on video of Bakhtiari at practice, he thinks the lineman has a legitimate chance to start in the Packers' first playoff game in the divisional round.
Center Josh Myers has also been sidelined for an extended period of time with a left knee injury.
Myers suffered an MCL sprain nearly three months ago and had surgery to repair the injury two months ago.
Green Bay opened his practice window Wednesday, allowing him to return at any point in the next three weeks.
Right tackle Billy Turner has missed the last three games with an MCL sprain in his right knee and is likely to miss Week 18 as well.
Chao said Turner also looks to be on track for a return in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers looks to be a lock for the MVP award and has done it missing the three key offensive linemen for the latter half of the season.
He may get all three back for the Packers first playoff game after the wildcard round bye.
