Aaron Rodgers' status for their Week 10 game remains uncertain, but the Green Bay Packers still got some good news on some fonts after David Bakhtiari has been activated off the PUP list.
Bakhtiari returned to practice mid-October, starting his three-week window to return to the team. He suffered a season-ending ACL injury in 2020 and was then placed in the Packers' Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.
The Packers' offensive tackle missed the first nine games of the campaign as he recovers from his left knee injury, but his activation means he ‘s poised to play and start on Sunday when they face the Seattle Seahawks.

This is certainly good news for the Packers, who could potentially miss Aaron Rodgers once again. While Rodgers is set to get off the COVID-19 list on Saturday–one day before their game against the Seahawks–he admitted there's a “small possibility” he won't be able to play.
Rodgers hasn't practiced with the team all week and given that he won't have a chance to do so before their game with Seattle, it's not really surprising that he could miss his second straight game.
Jordan Love struggled in his first start with the Packers in place of Rodgers, but having Bakhtiari should be able to ease some of his worries should Rodgers be out and he starts once again.
