Yeah no doubt. That's such a damn snake bit situation, from the timing of the original injury to Bak unfortunately having constant complications with the recovery. We're so used to knee surgeries/recovery going smoothly these days it a brutal reminder that these used to end careers regularly. Hopefully he finds a way to get it right by September.TroyD92 wrote:Bakh still out over a year and a half later. That is concerning.

He's more concerned getting ready for his golf match next week. I hope he will (but doubt he will) work out with his WR corps a lot over the next couple of months. And he should play a bit in preseason (again I doubt he will). I don't want another week 1 debacle like last year, especially since it's Minny this year.

Are we really back to the "not committed" thing already ?? It didn't age very well last season. He doesn't have to be here and he doesn't need to be here.
I think Rodgers not being here until training camp is good for the WR's. Let them learn the offense and get their feet wet before throwing them into the mental fire with Rodgers at the helm. They have more than enough on their plate without having the Rodgers pressures. And let's not forget that this is Love's last chance to show something before a decision is made on his future.
One open organized team activity session was enough to show the glaring holes on the Packers' offensive line. During position drills, David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins stood to the side, watching their linemates. They, conceivably, could be the Packers' bookend tackles this season.
In their absence, Nijman repped at left tackle during the practice. He started eight games there last season, an injury replacement that morphed into something of a revelation. In almost 600 snaps, Nijman allowed 17 pressures, including 3.5 sacks. For a former undrafted tackle who played only 14 snaps his first two years, the Packers hardly could have asked for better.
Nijman's progress was enough to make him the frontrunner to be the Packers' starting right tackle this fall, if the team decides to keep Jenkins at left guard once he returns from a torn ACL. Asked about the position battle, Nijman again defaulted to humility.
“I feel like (there’s an opportunity) for anyone,” Nijman said. “It’s not just me. Wherever the coaches feel like they need to put their best players. I’ll be prepared to be the starter if the opportunity presents itself.”

Don't think that's too bold. Doubs is a legit route runner and Watson still has some concentration drops. I think he'll clean it up, but could be frustrating to watch year 1.

Yeah I think Watson will still have an impact, but I really like Doubs

Hill has spent a lot of time this spring with both Jenkins and Tonyan, who also tore his ACL in that Week 8 game against the Cardinals. The trio talk every day, providing words of encouragement and motivation to get back on the field.
When he's not rehabbing, Hill has been diligent about staying in his playbook and understanding the level of detail new special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia expects on his unit.
Hill actually has some history with Bisaccia, whom he was introduced to during the pre-draft process in 2021. So far, the second-year running back has liked what he's seen.
There also been a bit of a change on the offensive side of the ball with Adam Stenavich taking over as coordinator for Nathaniel Hackett, now the head coach of the Denver Broncos.
While he doesn't know when he'll be cleared for a return, Hill is doing everything possible to prepare himself, both physically and mentally, for that day.
After showing signs of promise last year as both a running back and kickoff returner, Hill is hungrier than ever to prove he belongs.
