Packers sign former USFL safety Micah Abernathy

The Green Bay Packers once again dipped into the talent pool of the USFL to add a player to the 90-man roster.

On a day when general manager Brian Gutekunst waived former USFL receiver Osirus Mitchell with an injury, the Packers also signed safety Micah Abernathy, who previously starred for the Dallas Renegades of the XFL and Houston Gamblers of the USFL.

Last season, Abernathy finished ninth in the USFL with 68 total tackles. He added two interceptions, one forced fumble and seven pass breakups.

Abernathy (6-0, 195) went undrafted out of Tennessee in 2019.
