That familiar name, Laken Tomlinson, who started a whopping 155 games for our Seahawks, is reportedly headed to Green Bay, getting snatched off the Cowboys’ practice squad.
Green Bay’s O-Line Is in Shambles: Can Tomlinson Fix It?
Look, the Packers just took a beating. After their ugly loss to the Falcons where they managed a measly 17 rushing yards on nine attempts, something had to give. Their head coach, Matt LaFleur, apparently shut down any talk about changing the offensive line coach. But they *are* changing the personnel. With injuries piling up, including right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele’s season-ending torn patellar tendon, they need bodies. Tomlinson hasn’t seen any game action for Dallas this season, but he did play in 10 games and started seven for the Texans last year.
Our Former Seahawk’s Journey Continues
For the 12s, Tomlinson isn’t just some random name. The guy started 155 games! That’s with our Seahawks, of course, but also the Jets, 49ers, and Lions. He knows what it’s like to be in the trenches, bringing that grit every Sunday. While he’s been chilling on the Cowboys’ practice squad this season, his experience from those past years, especially that huge chunk with us, clearly still holds weight in the league.
It’s a big move for Tomlinson, getting the call-up to an active roster. We’ll be watching to see if his veteran experience, forged over those 155 starts including his time protecting our guys, can make a real difference for the Packers’ struggling front. You gotta wonder if he still has that fire.
