Slow starts continue to hinder Packers as they deal with injuries on offensive line
Associated PressGREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers once again put themselves in an early hole. I’ve got to be able to come out and start fast and put points up so we’re not playing from behind and making it harder on the defense.” Green Bay figured to have some growing pains in the first year of the post-Aaron Rodgers era as Love takes over for the departed four-time MVP. The Packers placed star left tackle David Bakhtiari on injured reserve Thursday afternoon, meaning he also will miss at least Green Bay’s next three games. Bakhtiari hasn’t played since Green Bay’s season-opening win at Chicago, and left guard Elgton Jenkins also missed a second straight game with a knee issue. That was humiliating, being down 27-3 or whatever it was at half.” Green Bay couldn’t capitalize on the return of running back Aaron Jones and wide receiver Christian Watson from hamstring injuries.
