Abernathy, 25, originally signed on with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2019 out of Tennessee but was cut loose after a few months. He caught on with the Buccaneers and Colts shortly after but was released from both teams in less than a week. 

The Packers signed him to a contract in August but was among their final roster cuts coming out of the preseason. 

During his four-year college career, Abernathy recorded 194 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, two interceptions, eight pass defenses, and five fumble recoveries.
