The full list of players includes:

  1. LB Jamon Johnson

Johnson, 24, began his career at Georgia in 2021 before transferring to Kentucky in 2024. He was a two-time National Champion at Georgia, and in 2022, he was a First-team All-American and Second-Team All-SEC.

The Packers signed him as an undrafted free agent in April 2025 and eventually added him to their practice squad.

In 2025, Johnson appeared in two games for the Packers and recorded 10 tackles and one pass defense.
