Packers OT David Bakhtiari was medically ineligible when he played Sunday

In an interesting article recently published by ESPN.com, it was revealed by the NFL that Packers rookie OT David Bakhtiari was medically ineligible when he played in Sunday's playoff loss to the 49ers. Bakhtiari, who seemed to be hurt pretty much all season, played just one snap in the contest, a worthless extra point in which his being on the field didn't matter. 

The article stated that Bakhtiari had apparently suffered a concussion some time in the late regular season, which he never had medically checked out. Still, the league doesn't appear to care too much about this, as no penalty is expected to be handed out.
