This…well…it ain’t great.
The Packers have placed star LT David Bakhtiari on the PUP list.

When I spoke with Dave at the end of last season, he indicated that the knee was structurally sound.
This leads me to wonder if he’s still dealing with the excess fluid and if this will be something they just have to manage going forward.
Regardless, having Bakhtiari on the shelf is obviously suboptimal.
Players who were placed on the PUP list yesterday included rookie wide receiver Christian Watson; tight end Robert Tonyan; Pro Bowl offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins; kicker Mason Crosby; defensive end Dean Lowry; running backs Kylin Hill and Patrick Taylor; outside linebacker Randy Ramsey; and defensive lineman Hauati Pututau.
Players placed on the PUP list can return at any time during camp and the preseason. Once they practice, however, they can not be placed on the regular season PUP.
The Packers also placed three players on the non-football injury list: Rookie offensive tackles Rasheed Walker and Caleb Jones, and linebacker Caliph Brice.
