None too early, with a tough run in the schedule coming up.

Good news but puleaase, don't bring him back too early. Honestly, why not sit him until after the bye?

The Packers medical staff normally is a conservative one so I guess they wouldn´t clear Bulaga if there would be any risk of aggravating the injury. I was surprised Adams was allowed to play vs. the Chiefs though.
We need to just rest Adams until hes 100%. Ankles are tricky and easy to re-hurt.
Three weeks ago the best case scenario was a three week return, and here we are:Good news but puleaase, don't bring him back too early. Honestly, why not sit him until after the bye?

wow 2 of ours are in the top? not good...
Maybe we can resign Newhouse and make it a TrifectaOL ranked by pressures allowed:

Or, as Bulaga expressed it, having had experience with injuries is a factor:I believe that the medical staff will/should give more autonomy to a veteran saying that he is ahead of schedule than a younger player. I would hope that Bulaga knows his body right now. Adams is still learning plays and more excited to play than smart about injuries. At least my old high school trainer isn't on staff. He'd just take your temperature, give you a bag of ice, and tell you to tell the coach that you were ready to go!
I've observed several times before that beyond pressures Bakhtiari has been penalty-prone in past seasons. So far this season, he's had 5 penalties...3 holding and 2 false starts, all accepted by the opponent. While penalties might not be included in pressures, I'd assume PFF takes them into account.PFF's stats differ from the ones you have posted but Barclay (73rd out of 74 offensive tackles) and Bakhtiari (67th) are on the bottom of their pass blocking efficiency rankings.
One good thing we can say about Barclay is that he has yet to be penalized:

You're right. football.db.com includes only accepted penalties. Still, 1 penalty over 4 games is pretty good for an O-Lineman.Barclay had a face mask penalty against the Chiefs which was declined because the play resulted in a fourth down.
The purpose of my comment on Barclay was to merely indicate a point in his favor. The primary point in that post was to illustrate the potential impact of penalties that goes beyond what pressures captures. Penalties are perhaps the most overlooked and underrated aspect of individual performance; they only seem to get mentioned when the team accumulation in a particular game has an obvious impact, such as Buffalo's 17 this past week.Well you have two sides of the coin. Bakhtiari has committed three holding penalties, so for the sake of argument, I'm assuming Rodgers would have been otherwise pressured. Turn those three penalties (to match Barclay's zero holding penalties) into pressures and Bakhtiari is now tied for second place in most pressures at 16.
I guess the players have different approaches. Bakhtiari would rather hold then get his QB hit. Barclay will let the guy get pressure and potentially hit the QB. Pressures aren't necessarily hits so I'm not sure which method is better or worse. Surely it's situational.
