GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Josh Sitton gave it the old college try when the Green Bay Packers coaches asked him to play left tackle on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

More like the old high school try; that was the last time the Pro Bowl guard played left tackle.

Sitton split his reps in practice last week between guard and tackle but didn’t find out until a few hours before the game that left tackle David Bakhtiari would miss his second straight game because of an ankle injury. Sitton went the distance at left tackle but had his share of trouble with Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen, who beat him for two sacks -- including one that caused a fumble that was recovered by Minnesota for a touchdown.

“I don’t think I played great,” Sitton said. “I went out there and did the best I could. I’m not a left tackle. I think I’m a guard. I think I’ve proved I can play pretty decent at guard, but we needed somebody to go in there and play. I told them I would do it. I went out there and fought the best I could. That’s all you can really ask.”

Sitton was the second option at left tackle. The first, Don Barclay, allowed four sacks in place of Bakhtiari in Week 16 at Arizona.

Bakhtiari declined to say after the game how close he was to playing or what his status is for this Sunday’s NFC wild-card playoff game at Washington, but it’s hard to imagine coach Mike McCarthy going with Sitton again even though Lane Taylor held up fine at Sitton’s left guard spot.

“Josh was excited about the opportunity,” McCarthy said after the game. “I think it says a lot about him to have the ability to kick out there and Lane’s played well. I think Lane has played very well at guard. Based on how we wanted to start the game and lean that way, we felt it was the best decision for tonight’s game.”
