Packers claim safety Johnathan Abram off waivers

The Green Bay Packers claimed Johnathan Abram off waivers from the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday.

Abram, a 2019 first-round draft pick by the Raiders, was waived on Tuesday.

The Packers lost one member of their secondary on Sunday against the Detroit Lions but it was a cornerback, Eric Stokes (ankle, knee).

Abram was taken in the same draft as Packers safety Darnell Savage. Defensive coordinator Joe Barry has talked about moving Savage into a slot cornerback role but said they would need a replacement at safety before he could make that move.
