Packers claim former Panthers CB David Long Jr.

David Long Jr. has found a new home.

The former Carolina Panthers cornerback, who was released this past Friday, has been officially claimed off waivers by the Green Bay Packers. He was waived off the active roster to make room for wide receiver Mike Strachan before the team’s Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Long Jr. joined the Panthers one month ago, when he was claimed from the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 3. He had appeared in eight games for the Raiders prior to his short stint in Charlotte.
