## Resource

The Dallas Cowboys just added veteran Laken Tomlinson to their practice squad as insurance behind starting left guard T.J. Bass, who’s stepping in for injured Tyler Smith—expected out four to six weeks after thumb surgery. With Smith sidelined and grip strength critical for linemen, the Cowboys are wisely bolstering depth with Tomlinson, a 10-year starter with over 160 games under his belt and a Pro Bowl nod. His experience and availability on game days give them flexibility if injuries strike, while Bass takes the reins now. It’s not flashy, but it’s smart prep for a long season where offensive line stability is key. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
