The Green Bay Packers signed former Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Mazi Smith to the practice squad to provide depth on their injury-plagued interior line.
The Green Bay Packers have signed former first-round defensive tackle Mazi Smith to their practice squad after his release by the Miami Dolphins. John Sbisa of Lombardi Ave writes that Green Bay took a flier on Smith due to an injury crisis along the defensive line. The team currently has only four active defensive tackles, with Warren Brinson, Javon Hargrave, and Jonathan Ford on injured reserve.
Sbisa argues that while Smith has struggled across stints with the Cowboys, Jets, and Dolphins, his 6-foot-3, 336-pound frame offers needed size. Smith brings starting experience from 2024, providing emergency run-defense depth to alleviate heavy snap counts.
