The Green Bay Packers have made a pair of waiver-wire claims to bolster their cornerback and tight end rooms as they prepare for OTAs later this month.
According to the NFL’s daily transaction wire for May 12, the Packers claimed former Las Vegas Raiders seventh-round cornerback M.J. Devonshire and former Houston Texans seventh-round tight end Luke Lachey off waivers on Tuesday afternoon.
Devonshire — a 2024 seventh-round pick — has spent time with four teams over his first two seasons in the NFL, but he has yet to play a regular-season snap. Most recently, he closed out the 2025 regular season with a practice-squad role for the Buffalo Bills, who extended him a reserve/future contract in January but waived him earlier this week.
Meanwhile, Lachey — a 2025 seventh-rounder — comes from a similar situation, having spent his rookie season on the Texans’ practice squad without playing a regular-season snap. The 6-foot-6, 251-pound tight end caught five of his six targets in the preseason, though, and had 74 receptions for 893 yards and four touchdowns in four years at Iowa.
The Packers have now filled the only two empty spots on their 90-man offseason roster, bringing them to capacity before they hold their nine organized team activities (OTAs) between May 26 and June 18 and their mandatory veteran minicamp from June 9-11.
