The Green Bay Packers on Thursday retained outside linebacker Justin Hollins, Jason Wilde of the Wisconsin State Journal reports.

Hollins’ one-year, $1.2 million deal was initially reported by Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Hollins posted a hunk-of-cheese emoji on his Twitter account as well.

The Packers claimed Hollins, who entered the league with the Denver Broncos in 2019 as a fifth-round pick out of Oregon, off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams on Thanksgiving Day in the wake of star edge rusher Rashan Gary suffering a torn ACL in his right knee in a loss at Detroit in early November.

In just six games with the Packers, Hollins registered 2.5 sacks and four quarterback hits after falling out of the Rams’ edge-rushing rotation with one sack and three QB hits in the season’s first 10 games.
