The Green Bay Packers announced on Wednesday that they have signed safety Micah Abernathy, as well as the previously reported running back Dexter Williams, from the USFL ranks. Abernathy and Williams are the fourth and fifth players signed by the Packers from the spring league this offseason, adding to tight end Sal Cannella, receiver Ishmael Hyman and receiver Osirus Mitchell, who along with long snapper Steven Writel were released to open up the two roster spots for the Packers’ newest signing.
After playing college football at Tennessee, Abernathy got his first crack at football as an undrafted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings.
