Vikings Sign Linebacker Jamin Davis

Daniel Jones, after a significant playoff performance, signed a four-year, $160 million extension with the Giants but was recently released and is expected to join the Vikings' practice squad as a backup to Sam Darnold. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers are facing linebacker depth issues ahead of their Thanksgiving game against the Dolphins, as neither Edgerrin Cooper nor Isaiah McDuffie practiced this week. The situation worsened when the Vikings signed linebacker Jamin Davis from the Packers' practice squad, further depleting Green Bay's options. Davis, a former first-round pick, had been brought in by the Packers but was poached by Minnesota after the injury of Ivan Pace Jr., leaving the Packers with only three linebackers. The Packers' linebacking crew, while featuring promising talents, has struggled this season, indicating a need for greater depth. The Packers' defense will need to adapt quickly, as they now risk entering the game with severely limited linebacker resources.
