As the Packers head to Jacksonville for a season-opening game against a Jaguars team hungry for a signature win, a player with a somewhat unusual signature may not be playing for Green Bay.

Tackle David Bakhtiari has been added to the injury report, with a back problem. He is listed as questionable.

Under the 2016 injury-reporting rules, questionable means that Bakhtiari is anywhere from 99.9 to 50 percent likely to play.

Certain not to play for the Packers is guard Josh Sitton, who was cut one week ago in a surprise move and who signed the next day with the Bears.

Bakhtiari is the starting left tackle, with Jason Spriggs as the No.2. It’s possible that, if Bakhtiari can’t play, someone like Bryan Bulaga would slide over from his starting spot on the right side.
