Report: Packers claim Abram off waivers

The Green Bay Packers landed former Las Vegas Raiders safety Johnathan Abram off waivers, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

A former first-round pick in 2019, the Raiders released Abram Tuesday after three-plus seasons. Las Vegas reportedly tried to trade the safety before the trade deadline but was unable to find a suitor.

Abram is known for being a hard hitter but has struggled in coverage. He's appeared in eight games this season with six starts and has recorded 48 tackles with no interceptions.

The 26-year-old put up a career-high 116 tackles in 2021.

In Green Bay, Abram will reunite with special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia, who spent 2018-2021 with the Raiders.

The Packers have struggled to a 3-6 mark in 2022 while also allowing an average of 20.9 points per game, good for 15th in the NFL.
