Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers received bad news Thursday as offensive lineman David Bakhtiari injured a knee.
According to the NFL Network, the 29-year-old has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, but the Packers player will undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test to confirm the extent of the injury. In all likelihood, the season for the player protecting quarterback Aaron Rodgers is over.
In November, Bakhtiari had agreed on the terms of a four-season contract worth $ 105.5 million with the Packers. The deal made him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history.
The Packers will play their last game of the season on Sunday, against the Chicago Bears. With a victory, the Wisconsin side would finish first in the National Association and thus receive a week off in the first playoff round.
