Packers Elevate Lecitus Smith for Week 4 at Cowboys as Offensive Line Thins
The call-up supplies emergency depth after injuries sidelined both right tackles, with guard Aaron Banks doubtful.
Overview
- Green Bay announced the elevation Saturday, making Smith available for Sunday night in Dallas.
- Right tackles Zach Tom and Anthony Belton are ruled out, and guard Aaron Banks is listed as doubtful.
- The projected starting five: Rasheed Walker, Jordan Morgan, Elgton Jenkins, Sean Rhyan and Darian Kinnard.
- Backups are expected to be Lecitus Smith, Donovan Jennings and Brant Banks, with Smith offering guard/center versatility and prior NFL starts for Arizona and New England.
- This is a temporary practice-squad elevation with reversion expected after the game, a move that suggests the Packers planned for only seven healthy linemen without Banks.
