  • Van Lanen has nine starts this season, including the past four at left tackle, after earlier starts at left guard, right guard and right tackle.
  • Pro Football Focus credits him with significant versatility, logging 300 snaps at left tackle, 72 at left guard, 46 at right guard and 133 at right tackle.
  • The deal keeps Van Lanen from entering free agency this offseason and extends his contract through the 2028 season.
