During his MVP season for Kiel Baltic Hurricanes, Davis totaled 94 receptions for 1,733 yards receiving and 24 touchdowns
Pinkard, 24, signed on with the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of Old Dominion back in May of last year. He was waived with an injury settlement a few weeks into the regular season and later signed on to the Raiders’ practice squad to finish out the 2015 season.
During the preseason, Pinkard recorded five receptions for 140 yards receiving and a single touchdown for the Packers.
