RENTON, Wash. -- With their run defense struggling and starting safety Ryan Neal hurting, the Seattle Seahawks claimed former first-round pick Johnathan Abram off waivers from the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Abram, 26, joins his third team this month. He was waived on Nov. 9 by the Las Vegas Raiders, whose previous regime drafted him 27th overall in 2019. The Packers claimed him the next day and waived him on Tuesday. Abram appeared in two games with Green Bay, with all but one of his 29 snaps coming on special teams, and was a healthy scratch in Week 12.
