The Green Bay Packers signed linebacker Jamin Davis, a first-round pick of the Washington Commanders in 2021, to the team’s practice squad on Tuesday. The corresponding roster move was releasing linebacker Chris Russell Jr.
Davis, 25, was the 19th overall pick in the 2021 draft. He played in 50 games for the Commanders, producing 282 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 7.0 sacks, six pass breakups, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and one interception. He started 36 games over his first three seasons but was released after five games in 2024.
New Commanders coach Dan Quinn attempted to convert Davis to edge rusher, but the experiment didn’t last long.
