The Green Bay Packers are still in the playoff hunt. As they sit at 6-8, they still sit on the outside looking in in the NFC but, with a win on Christmas Day, they could potentially keep their hopes alive. That would require a solid effort and another tab in the win column, though, against the Miami Dolphins.

However, the Packers will have to do so without one key player after he was listed on the team’s injury report to end the week.

OT David Bakhtiari (knee/abdomen) did not practice on Friday and now will not play today.

WATCH: Pittsburgh Steelers hold moment of silence to honor Franco Harris

The Pittsburgh Steelers decided to honor Franco Harris with a variety of tributes on Saturday night before they faced off against the Las Vegas Raiders. First, every member of the Steelers’ organization wore his jersey to the stadium ahead of the game. Then, during the national anthem, the team held a moment of silence for Harris, who was one of the most beloved figures in sports history. Tonight happens to be the 50th anniversary of “The Immaculate Reception”, one of the most famous plays in the history of the NFL.

Check out the touching tribute here.

Pittsburgh defensive lineman Cameron Heyward also honored Harris ahead of the game, when he came out of the tunnel with a No. 32 flag. Check out the touching tribute from one of the most respected members of the Steelers’ organization.

Franco Harris was certainly an old-school football player. A fullback from the 1970’s that was the team’s dominant ball-carrier. Not only was he the Steelers’ best guy on the ground during his time there, Harris was one of the most consistent forces out of the backfield in the entire NFL.

For six straight seasons, from 1974 to 1979, Harris eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing. For a fullback, that’s unbelievable. Pretty safe to say a fullback will almost certainly NEVER hit those marks again. Just an unbelievable level of production from Harris as a fullback.

For his career, the big fella ran for north of 12,000 yards and scored 91 touchdowns. Really, he was the precursor of what was to come with Jerome Bettis. But Harris himself was well worthy of the Hall of Fame and was inducted in the 1990 class.
