The Green Bay Packers are signing veteran guard Laken Tomlinson off the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad to shore up an offensive line that has struggled to protect quarterback Jordan Love and open running lanes. The move follows Green Bay’s 35-14 loss to Atlanta, in which the Packers managed just 17 rushing yards, and the season-ending injury to right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele. Tomlinson, 34, has extensive NFL experience, including a Pro Bowl season with San Francisco, and started seven games for Houston last season. He gives the Packers another option, though it remains uncertain how much he can improve the line; Dallas must replace him on its practice squad.
