The Minnesota Vikings signed linebacker Jamin Davis off the practice squad of the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday.
Davis, a former first-round pick of the Washington Commanders, signed with the Packers practice squad on Oct. 29. He made no appearances as a practice squad elevation for the Packers.
Players on practice squads can sign with other teams as long as they are signed to the active 53-man roster.
The Packers are currently thin at linebacker while dealing with injuries to Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring) and Isaiah McDuffie (ankle), so it’s possible Davis would have been a candidate for elevation on Thursday night against the Miami Dolphins.
