Some good news on the Packers injury front Wednesday as Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari returned to practice for the first time since suffering a torn ACL last December. The makeshift offensive line, that has also included losing Bakhtiari’s replacement Elgton Jenkins for a good amount of time, has held up pretty good for the most part. Still there’s something that gets added to the line with Bakhtiari closer to a return to game action. Bakhtiari was not listed on the Packers injury report Wednesday because he’s still officially on the Physically Unable to Perform List (PUP), and a return to game action is still unknown.
“It’s a good having him back. He’s a stud. He’s a future hall of famer. He has a different focus, I think, when it comes to him being on the field. A different comfort for myself and really I think everybody else,” said quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Also on Wednesday center Josh Myers missed practice because of a knee injury as did tackle Dennis Kelley (back), safety Darnell Savage (concussion) and linebacker Preston Smith (oblique). Cornerback Kevin King (shoulder) saw limited participation and wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown was a full participant.
In Thursday Night Football Denver plays at Cleveland. Both teams are 3-3.

Haines had been the Brewers’ hitting coach for the last three seasons.
