Packers Expect RT Zach Tom to Sit vs. Cowboys as Brant Banks Joins 53-Man Roster

Green Bay plans to reassess the right tackle after its Week 5 bye.

Overview

  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Tom is not expected to play in Week 4 as he continues to deal with the oblique injury that forced him out after one snap in the Week 3 loss at Cleveland.
  • The Packers have cycled through four options at right tackle across three games and logged nine different offensive line combinations, contributing to five sacks and a 42% pressure rate against Jordan Love in Week 3.
  • Green Bay promoted undrafted tackle Brant Banks to the active roster after a prior Week 2 elevation, bolstering depth following injuries to Tom and left guard Aaron Banks.
  • The team released Mecole Hardman from the practice squad and signed wide receiver Jakobie Keeney-James, leaving one open spot on both the 53-man roster and the practice squad entering Week 4.
  • Who starts at right tackle in Dallas remains to be determined, with recent in-game replacements including Jordan Morgan, Anthony Belton and Darian Kinnard.
