The Green Bay Packers Tuesday promoted defensive tackle Colin Cole from the practice squad to the active roster, and placed tight end David Martin on injured reserve, GM/Head Coach Mike Sherman announced.

Cole, Aaron Kampman's college teammate on the Iowa defensive line, is a 6-2, 320-pound tackle who signed to the Packers practice squad, Sept. 16. Officially a first-year player, he spent the last two training camps in the NFC North, with Minnesota in 2003 and Detroit in 2004. The Vikings signed him as a non-drafted free agent on May 2, 2003, and kept him on their 53-man roster for separate, one-week stints last season. Detroit signed him Dec. 23. All told in 2003, he was inactive for three NFL contests.

The Lions waived Cole in their final preseason roster reduction, Sept. 5.

Cole is the sixth player this season Green Bay has promoted from its practice squad to the 53-man roster. The Packers also brought up tight end Ben Steele (Sept. 7), center/guard Scott Wells (Oct. 2), wide receiver Kelvin Kight (Oct. 16), running back Walter Williams (Nov. 20), and fullback Vonta Leach (Monday). The first five have played in at least one game.

Martin, a 6-4, 262-pound tight end out of Tennessee, missed the last two games after sustaining a knee injury Nov. 14 vs. Minnesota. The fourth-year reserve had five catches for 88 yards in 2004.
