Bakhtiari (knee) had a positive follow-up exam with Dr. Brian Cole and is on schedule to be cleared to play during the 2024 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bakhtiari was released by the Packers in March, but he previously stated he had every intention of suiting up somewhere for the 2024 campaign as long as he was healthy enough to do so. The two-time first-team All-Pro offensive tackle likely will be able to garner interest from multiple NFL teams once he can start working out for them.

Health remains a concern for Bakhtiari, but he also remains one of the best left tackles in the game when healthy. His presence -- or lack thereof -- will be pivotal to the success of Green Bay's offense in its first year with Jordan Love at the helm.
After injuring his knee in December of 2020, Bakhtiari missed the first 16 games of the 2021 campaign. He made a brief appearance in Week 18, but he did not play in the postseason for a second year in a row. Bakhtiari is still not back at 100 percent, and his availability for Week 1 is uncertain.
Arguably the best left tackle in the league, Bakhtiari's 2020 campaign was cut short by a late-season knee injury. It remains to be seen if he will be ready for Week 1.
Bakhtiari has proven to be a draft day gem for the Packers, as the former fourth-round pick has started every game at left tackle since being selected in 2013. He has excelled at shielding Aaron Rodgers' blind side and will be counted on to do so again in 2015.
Will start at left tackle for the Packers.
With the injury to Bryan Bulaga, Bakhtiari will compete for the starting left tackle position in training camp for his rookie season.
