The Green Bay Packers will be without starting offensive linemen David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins during Sunday’s season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. Both players are among the team’s seven inactives for Week 1.
Bakhtiari and Jenkins, who were questionable to play, are both coming back from significant knee injuries. Bakhtiari has only played in one game since the end of the 2020 season, while Jenkins suffered his injury in Week 11 against the Vikings last year.
The Packers will also be without starting receiver Allen Lazard, who was doubtful to play and is now officially out with an ankle injury.
Three rookies are inactive: safety Tariq Carpenter, receiver Samori Toure and defensive lineman Jonathan Ford.
Here’s the Packers’ inactive list for Week 1:
OT David Bakhtiari
OL Elgton Jenkins
WR Allen Lazard
CB Shemar Jean-Charles
S Tariq Carpenter
WR Samori Toure
DL Jonathan Ford
The Packers and Vikings are scheduled for kickoff at 3:25 p.m. from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
