GREEN BAY, Wis. – With four-fifths of the starting offensive line out with injuries, the Green Bay Packers are elevating rookie Cole Van Lanen to the roster for Sunday’s game at the Baltimore Ravens.
It will mark the NFL debut for Van Lanen, who grew up in nearby Suamico.
Van Lanen was a high school All-American at Bay Port before a decorated career at Wisconsin. He started at left tackle in 2019 and 2020, earning first-team all-conference honors as a senior. Scouts dinged Van Lanen for a disappointing junior season, which played a role in him tumbling into the sixth round of this year’s draft.
