GREEN BAY
Chris Conley Jersey , Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari avoided a serious injury after being carted off the field at practice during the weekend.
Bakhtiari was hurt during the Family Night practice on Saturday at Lambeau Field. He walked to a cart with his left shoe removed before being driven back to the locker room.
Bakhtiari twisted his ankle while retreating in pass protection. He likened it to a “typical basketball” injury.
“It was weird,” Bakhtiari said Monday, when the Packers returned to practice following a day off. “It didn’t really feel bad, just kind of putting some weight into it and it just told me no. That was kind of (why) I was worried, but it should be all right.”
Coach Mike McCarthy said Bakhtiari’s injury was “not of the long-term nature.” Bakhtiari will be evaluated as he goes through rehab.
“Obviously, you don’t want to get hurt but, thankfully

Good thing for the Packers, because he is one of their most important players given his role as quarterback Aaron Rodgers‘ reliable blind-side protector. He has been voted a second-team All-Pro each of the past two seasons.
Starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga just returned to practice on a limited basis following a right ACL injury that knocked him out at midseason last year.
Without those two, Kyle Murphy probably will start at left tackle and Jason Spriggs likely will start at right tackle for Thursday’s first preseason game, at home against Tennessee. Murphy started three games last season before a foot injury ended his season. Two of those came at left tackle.
Green Bay placed inside linebacker Jake Ryan on injured reserve on Monday, likely ending his season. One of the team’s best run-stoppers suffered a significant right knee injury in practice last week.

“It wasn’t broken, so it was a positive outlook,” Brice said. “Once they told me it wasn’t fractured or broken, I just started walking on it. I figured sprain

The sports world is filled with many stories of 鈥渙ne-hit wonders,鈥?individuals who either had one good season or one monumental moment on a big stage before eventually fading into oblivion over time. Somewhat ironically, because of when this piece is being produced, not every individual who聽experiences聽only a single good season before losing momentum and the favor of fans disappears forever. Nick Foles enjoyed success with the Philadelphia Eagles, ultimately lost his gig with that team, became a backup with the Eagles during a second stint with the club and then helped Philly win a first Super Bowl in franchise history. He聽earned MVP honors for his play on that evening.
For every tale such as that attached to Foles鈥?name
Jermon Bushrod Jersey , there have been numerous NFL players who had one good season and then became 鈥渨hatever happened to those guys?鈥?stories. The list begins with an individual who is still in the NFL as of the middle of August 2018, a person who unquestionably possessed Hall of Fame talent in his prime but who has battled demons and personal issues for many years. Nobody, maybe not even the player himself, knows what he will be able to achieve if he can make a聽return from football oblivion and become a mainstay in a lineup. It鈥檚 possible that playing聽the sport at such a high level is not what is best for him.
