Good to go Week 11
Tom (back) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom continues to work through a back issue that he's been dealing with since mid-October, but he's played in each of the Packers' last five games since the Week 5 bye. He's been cleared to play Sunday and will remain as the starter at right tackle.
Nov 13, 2025
Logs another limited practice
Tom (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Tom has been working through a back issue since mid-October, so the fact that he's opened the week with back-to-back limited practices suggests that he should be available to play against the Giants on Sunday. Friday's practice report will determine whether Tom enters Week 11 with an injury designation.
Nov 12, 2025
Begins week deemed limited
Tom (back) was estimated as a limited practice participant Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Tom has been dealing with a back issue since early October. He's been able to play through the injury despite frequently appearing on injury reports. His designation as limited Wednesday suggests Tom has a good chance of suiting up again Sunday against the Giants.
Nov 10, 2025
Cleared to face Philly
Tom (back) is active for Monday's game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom logged limited practices throughout the week in preparation for the Eagles. That will be enough for him to suit up for his fifth straight game while serving as the Packers' starting right tackle.
Nov 8, 2025
Questionable vs Eagles
Tom (back) is questionable for Green Bay's matchup versus the Eagles on Monday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom has been a limited participant in practice throughout the week as he continues to battle a back injury. The 26-year-old should still be in line to play in Monday's game versus the Eagles however, as he has played through this injury for multiple weeks.
Nov 6, 2025
Limited to open week
Tom (back) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The starting right tackle will have two more days to get in a full session ahead of Monday's clash with the Eagles, though he was able to play last week despite only getting in limited practice sessions. Tom has started all six games he's played in this season.
Oct 31, 2025
Set to face Carolina
Tom (back) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom has dealt with oblique and back issues for the last several weeks, but he managed three limited practice sessions during the week. He should be in line to start his fourth straight game at right tackle in Week 9 against Carolina.
Oct 29, 2025
Limited participant in practice
Tom (back) was a limited participant in Green Bay's practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Tom is still managing the back injury that he has been dealing with throughout the majority of the season. The 26-year-old should be able to suit up for Sunday's matchup versus the Panthers, as he was limited in practice throughout last week before ultimately playing.
Oct 24, 2025
All clear for Week 8
Tom (back) doesn't have an injury status for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom is thus good to go for the matchup against the Steelers. He's been managing oblique and back issues throughout the campaign but was able to suit up each of the past two weeks.
Oct 22, 2025
Back on injury report
Tom (back) logged a limited practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Tom has been able to play in consecutive games but has been virtually a constant presence on the Packers' injury report. Given his recent trend, it appears likely that he'll be available Sunday against the Steelers, but he could draw an injury designation heading into the matchup.
Oct 19, 2025
Active in Week 7
Tom is active for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom logged two limited practices this week, but is free of an oblique or back injury designation and good to go for Sunday's game. He logged 61 snaps last week and will look to continue with that volume as the Packers' starting right tackle.
Oct 17, 2025
Questionable to face Cardinals
Tom (oblique/back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom has been nursing oblique and back injuries since Week 2, bouncing in and out of the lineup. He logged two limited sessions ahead of Sunday's matchup against Arizona, and he appears to be truly questionable.
Oct 16, 2025
Upgrades to limited practice
Tom (oblique) logged a limited practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Tom continues to deal with both oblique and back issues, though he's trending up after not practicing in any capacity Wednesday. That suggests he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, though that is far from certain. Tom's status should become clearer Friday, depending on whether he receives an injury designation.
Oct 15, 2025
Back on injury report
Tom (oblique/back) did not practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Tom has been dealing with the oblique injury all season but has still managed to suit up in three of Green Bay's five games. He's had his practice reps managed, so his availability for Week 7 against the Cardinals should become clearer as the week progresses.
Oct 12, 2025
Cleared to play Week 6
Tom (oblique/back) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
A back injury was added to Tom's name on Friday's injury report, but the fourth-year offensive lineman has been given the green light to play Sunday. He'll reclaim his starting spot at right tackle while Darian Kinnard reverts to a reserve role.
Oct 10, 2025
Now dealing with back issue
Tom (oblique/back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Tom was limited in practice all week, but the back issue was added to Tom's name Friday, putting him in question for Week 6 after he missed Weeks 3 and 4 ahead of Green Bay's bye. Darian Kinnard would likely be next in line to start in Tom's place if he's not able to play.
Oct 8, 2025
Limited participant in practice
Tom (oblique) was a limited participant in Green Bay's practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Tom sat out the team's Week 4 tie with the Cowboys but is now closer to making his return. While the 26-year-old seems to be trending in the right direction, if he ends up being unable to play in Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Darian Kinnard would likely start at right tackle in his place.
Sep 26, 2025
No go for Week 4
Tom (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday night's contest in Dallas, Aaron Nagler of Cheesehead TV reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom will be unavailable for Week 4 while he nurses an oblique injury, which sidelined him at practice for the entirety of the week. Jordan Morgan is a top candidate to take over at right tackle against the Cowboys.
Sep 24, 2025
Likely out for Week 4
Tom (oblique) is not expected to play in Sunday night's matchup against the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom was held to just one offensive snap in the Packers' Week 3 loss to the Browns due to a nagging oblique injury sustained two games prior. Green Bay's bye comes in Week 5, so Tom will get an extra week of rest if he sits out the Week 4 contest. 2024 first-round pick Jordan Morgan will likely step in and start at right tackle if Tom is sidelined Sunday.
Sep 22, 2025
Avoids making injury worse
Tom did not suffer any additional damage to his oblique in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom was forced to exit Sunday's contest after just one play on offense, and head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that he "wouldn't say further re-aggravated," in regards to the offensive tackle's pre-existing oblique injury. LaFleur explained that it's hard to simulate game reps at practice, and it appears as if Tom avoided making his injury worse.
Sep 21, 2025
Exits with oblique injury
Tom is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns due to an oblique injury.
ANALYSIS
Tom entered the game nursing an oblique injury and appeared to aggravate the injury on the Packers' first offensive play of the first quarter. Jordan Morgan has entered the game at right tackle following Tom's exit.
Sep 21, 2025
Cleared to play Week 3
Tom (oblique) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom turned in limited practices during Week 3 prep, and the 2022 fourth-rounder has recovered enough from his oblique injury to play in Sunday's contest. He'll return to his spot at right tackle while Darian Kinnard serves in a depth role on the Packers' offensive line.
Sep 17, 2025
Returns to practice
Tom (oblique) turned in a limited practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Tom was unable to practice at all prior to Green Bay's Week 2 win over Washington. While it's positive that he took the field Wednesday, Tom was struggling to run and did not participate in any team drills, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. That leaves him with an uncertain status for a Week 3 matchup against Cleveland.
Sep 11, 2025
Not cleared to play vs. Washington
Tom (oblique) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Commanders, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom suffered an oblique injury during the Packers' Week 1 win over the Lions. The injury prevented him from practicing this past week, and his absence means Darian Kinnard will likely start at right tackle Thursday. Tom's next opportunity to play is Week 3 against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 21.
Sep 10, 2025
Gets questionable tag for Thursday
Tom (oblique) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Commanders, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom was not able to practice at all during the week, which signals he may be on the 'doubtful' end of the questionable designation. After Tom went down with his oblique injury in Week 1, Darian Kinnard came in at right tackle, so he'd be the favorite to start there Thursday in the event that Tom ends up being out.
Sep 9, 2025
Game-time decision for Week 2
Head coach Matt LeFleur said Tuesday that Tom (oblique) is considered a game-time decision for the Packers' Week 2 clash against the Commanders on Thursday, per NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Tom suffered an oblique injury during the Packers' Week 1 win against the Lions on Sunday. He's been estimated as a DNP in the first two practices of the week, though LaFleur relayed that the Packers will give Tom "all the way up to game time" to see if the 2022 fourth-rounder can play Thursday, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Darian Kinnard would likely replace Tom at right tackle if the latter is unable to play.
Sep 8, 2025
Estimated as DNP Monday
Tom (hip) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom exited Week 1 against the Lions with the hip injury and was unable to return. Darian Kinnard replaced Tom at right tackle for the Packers and would be in line to start Thursday night against the Commanders if Tom is unable to play.
Sep 7, 2025
Suffers hip injury
Tom (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Tom suffered a hip injury late in the third quarter while trying to avoid landing on quarterback Jordan Love on a broken play. Darian Kinnard replaced him at right tackle versus Detroit.
Jul 21, 2025
Signs massive extension with Packers
Tom agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Packers on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Pelissero, Tom's extension is for $88 million, with a maximum value of $92 million. Reportedly included in the offensive tackle's new pact with Green Bay is a $30.2 million signing bonus, which is the largest signing bonus for an offensive lineman in the history of the NFL.
Jul 22, 2024
Coming off PUP list
General manager Brian Gutekunst told reporters that Tom (pectoral) will come off the PUP list and practice in a limited fashion Monday, per Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
ANALYSIS
The 2022 fourth-round pick out of Wake Forest sustained a torn pectoral earlier in the offseason that held him out of Green Bay's OTAs, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. Tom started all 19 of the Packers' games in 2023, including their two playoff appearances, and he's expected to remain the team's top right tackle going into the 2024 season.
Jul 17, 2024
Starts camp on PUP list
The Packers placed Tom (pectoral) on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom has been rehabbing his pec most of the offseason and isn't yet ready for contact. He started all 19 games, including the playoffs, last season and is penned is as the Packers' top right tackle for 2024.
May 21, 2024
Not participating in OTAs
Tom (pectoral) will be out until training camp, head coach Matt LaFleuer said Tuesday, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear when or how Tom suffered the injury, but he'll start the Packers' offseason programs on the sidelines. LaFleur stated there was no long-term concern with the injury, and they do expect him to be ready for training camp.
Jan 20, 2024
Ruled out for remainder of Saturday
Tom (concussion) won't return to Saturday's game versus San Francisco, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom suffered a head injury in the second half and was subsequently evaluated for a concussion. He's since been deemed out for the remainder of the matchup. Yosh Nijman has taken over at right tackle in Tom's absence.
Jan 20, 2024
Exits Saturday with head injury
Tom is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Saturday's divisional-round contest against San Francisco, Bridget Condon of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom departed in the second half, and his return is uncertain. Yosh Nijman has entered at right tackle in Tom's stead.
Jan 7, 2024
Returns Sunday
Tom (finger) has returned to Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom left for the locker room in the second quarter, but has returned at right tackle for the start of the second half.
Jan 7, 2024
Exits Sunday's game
Tom (finger) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Tom was taken to the locker room after sustaining a finger injury in the first half. Yosh Nijman has taken over at right tackle in Tom's absence.
Oct 7, 2023
Good to go Monday
Tom (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Monday night's game against Las Vegas, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom was a limited participant during Packers practice all week with a knee injury, but it seems as if he'll be ready for Monday night. The second-year tackle has been a bright spot on a depleted Green Bay offensive line, as he hasn't allowed a sack through four games.
Sep 28, 2023
Playing Thursday
Tom (knee) is active for Thursday night's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
The offensive tackle left Green Bay's Week 3 win over New Orleans with a knee injury. The 2022 fourth-round pick has started all three games this year at right tackle.
Sep 27, 2023
Questionable for TNF
Tom (knee) is considered questionable to play Thursday night versus the Lions, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Tom suffered a knee injury in the Packers' 18-17 win over the Saints in Week 3 and his status for Week 4 is now in question. If he can't go versus Detroit, either Yosh Nijman or Caleb Jones could step into a starting role.
Sep 24, 2023
Departs with injury
Tom exited Sunday's game against New Orleans with a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Tom departed from Sunday's game in the second half, and his return is uncertain. The injury could further deplete a Green Bay offensive line that was already missing David Bakhtiari (knee) and Elgton Jenkins (knee) on Sunday. In Tom's absence, Yosh Nijman and/or Caleb Jones may see more playing time. Tom will have a short turnaround to try to get healthy, as the Packers next play on Thursday Night Football against Detroit.
Apr 30, 2022
Adds depth to Green Bay line
The Packers selected Tom in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 140th overall.
ANALYSIS
The Packers love to prioritize versatile oline pieces and Tom fits the bill as a four-year starter at San Diego State. The soon-to-be 24-year-old saw double-digit starts at both tackle spots and even slid into guard on occasion. He's not a superb athlete by any means, but he is a road grader in the run game and could become a valuable depth piece along the Packers' offensive line.
