If it wasn't enough that the Green Bay Packers' offense looked out of sync in their Week 1 win over the Chicago Bears last Thursday, they may be entering Week 2 without one of their most important offensive pieces.
Per Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk, Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings as a result of a back injury.
Bakhtiari practiced on Friday, but in a limited capacity.
Williams notes that Green Bay would likely move right guard Billy Turner to left tackle if Bakhtiari is unable to play.
Bakhtiari is coming off of a 2018 campaign in which he started all 16 games and was so dominant that he was named a First-Team All-Pro in spite of not landing a Pro Bowl selection.
The 27-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Colorado, was originally selected by the Packers in the fourth round (109th pick overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft.
He was immediately inserted as the starting left tackle during his rookie campaign and has been a mainstay along Green Bay's offensive line ever since, making a Pro Bowl in 2016.
Bakhtiari is in the third year of a four-year extension he signed in September 2016 and is set to earn $8.5 million this season.
The Packers scored just 10 points in a seven-point win over the Bears last week, with Aaron Rodgers completing just 18 of his 30 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown and Green Bay totaling 47 yards rushing.
Matt LaFleur's club will get the chance to put forth a better offensive showing this Sunday against the Vikings.
