Bakhtiari (knee) plans to play in 2024, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bakhtiari was released by the Packers last Monday after missing the majority of the team's games since late 2020 due to complications with his left knee. However, that doesn't mean he's ready to hang up his cleats. According to Rapoport, the 32-year-old is diligently rehabbing and focused on returning to play. If Bakhtiari can prove himself healthy, the two-time first-team All-Pro tackle likely will be able to garner interest from multiple NFL teams.

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.
