NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Andy Dalton (hand) is not expected to play in Week 14 against the Packers. Rapoport added that Dalton won’t need surgery on the broken bone in his hand. He should return to serve as Justin Fieds’ backup for Week 15. Until then, Nick Foles will hold the clipboards for Fields.

Packers LT David Bakhtiari (knee) did not practice Friday. Bakhtiari was activated from the PUP list in early November, but he has yet to see the field after undergoing a follow-up surgery on his reconstructed knee. The Packers have not placed him on injured reserve, suggesting he will return this season, but he remains without a timetable. Bakhtiari returning for the playoffs would be a big boost for an already strong squad.
