- Oct 25 Jason B. Hirschhorn (Bluesky) Based on pregame warmups, it appears that the Packers' starting O-line today will be: LT Jordan Morgan LG Laken Tomlinson C Sean Rhyan RG Travis Glover RT Anthony Belton Aaron Banks will serve as a backup in his first game back.

- It looks like the Packers' starting O-line against the Cowboys will consist of: LT — Jordan Morgan LG — Laken Tomlinson C — Sean Rhyan RG — Travis Glover RT — Anthony Belton So, at least for now, Kevin Zeitler remains on the sideline.
- Talked to Laken Tomlinson and Travis Glover for this. Tomlinson, 34: “I knew I still had it in me.” Glover made the most of his year off w/ a torn lat: “I felt like just a wounded soldier who couldn’t go to war, so I just embraced every role, every challenge that came my way.” · Quoting Matt Schneidman: From Weeks 1-3, the Packers ranked 31st in pressure rate allowed. In Weeks 4 and 5, they rank first. Behind the remarkable offensive line improvement are two new guards who came out of nowhere. Will they stay in the lineup?
- Laken Tomlinson and Travis Glover have come out of nowhere to stabilize the offensive line with solid guard play. But will Aaron Banks and Kevin Zeitler take over at those spots soon or will the Packers stick with what’s working?
