The promotion of Nick Leverett to the Dallas Cowboys’ active roster was a necessary response to Tyler Smith’s thumb injury.
However, it depleted the team’s practice squad depth. Signing veteran offensive lineman Laken Tomlinson immediately solves this problem.
Tomlinson brings an extraordinary wealth of experience to the organization, having started 162 career NFL games across multiple teams. By adding a reliable, seasoned pro like Tomlinson to the practice squad, the Cowboys ensure they have a proven contingency plan ready if further injuries strike the interior line. Leverett provides immediate, versatile gameday depth on the active roster, while Tomlinson provides an elite insurance policy.
