Carl Lawson rushing the quarterback against star left tackle David Bakhtiari is one of the key battles to watch in Sunday’s Jets-Packers game.
Even though Green Bay was where Lawson ruptured his Achilles tendon during a joint practice with the Packers last summer, which erased his entire 2021 season, the Jets’ edge rusher is more focused on the player he’ll line up against Sunday.
Lawson is coming off perhaps his best game as a Jet, against the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium. He terrorized the Miami backfield with a strip-sack and seven quarterback hits — the most by a Jets player since that became an official statistic in 2000.The Miami game was further evidence that Lawson, as he regains his footing and confidence after the Achilles injury, is steadily returning to the form the Jets envisioned when they signed him to a three-year, $45 million contract.
Lawson’s trip to Green Bay last summer was a disappointment even before he suffered the season-ending Achilles injury. He was pumped up to practice against Bakhtiari, but the Packers left tackle was rehabbing a knee injury and unable to practice.“It’s always been something I’ve wanted to do,’’ Lawson said. “My first [career] sack was against Aaron Rodgers and [Bakhtiari] came up to me after the game and said, ‘Good game.
“I wanted to go up against him,’’ Lawson said. “Now we finally get out chance coming off [respective] injuries. So, it should be a fun matchup.’’
