Packers sign S Innis Gaines from practice squad to replace S Johnathan Abram

The Green Bay Packers made a roster change at safety on Tuesday, waiving Johnathan Abram from the 53-man roster to make room for Innis Gaines, who was signed from the practice squad.

Abram’s release was reported earlier Tuesday.

Gaines was elevated to the gameday roster for Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles while Abram, who was claimed off waivers from the Raiders 18 days ago, was inactive as a healthy scratch.

Gaines (6-2, 207) played 18 special teams snaps against the Eagles. He was also elevated from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Week 8 in Buffalo where he played eight special teams snaps.
