The Green Bay Packers have agreed to sign guard Laken Tomlinson from the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad, NFL Network reporters Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported. Tomlinson did not appear in Dallas' first two games, and his debut with Green Bay has not been established. The Cowboys are scheduled to visit the Packers in Week 6.
Dallas added Tomlinson earlier this month when All-Pro guard Tyler Smith entered injured reserve after thumb surgery. Smith can return after Week 4. The remaining practice-squad offensive linemen are Marcellus Johnson and Wanya Morris. Johnson is listed at tackle and has not played in an NFL game, while Morris has lined up at both left and right tackle during his three-year career.
Tomlinson, 34, entered the NFL as Detroit's first-round pick in the 2015 draft. He has played in 173 games and started 162 across 11 seasons, including a 2021 Pro Bowl selection with San Francisco. His other teams have included the New York Jets, Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans, for whom he played 10 games in 2025.
Green Bay has had offensive-line injuries, with Aaron Banks and Zach Bako-Bewele missing Week 3. Bako-Bewele will miss the season because of a torn patellar tendon. Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been sacked eight times, and Pro Football Focus has credited the team with allowing 57 pressures through three games.
Tomlinson allowed three sacks and 11 pressures for Houston last season. Details of his Packers role were not provided.
