McManus Doubtful With Quad, Havrisik Expected to Kick for Packers vs. Giants

A late downgrade that contradicts midweek assurances underscores Green Bay’s rare two‑kicker hedge entering Week 11.

Overview

  • The Packers added Brandon McManus to the injury report on Saturday with a right quadriceps issue and listed him as doubtful for Sunday at the Giants.
  • Lucas Havrisik is expected to handle kicking duties after going 10-for-10 in two earlier games for Green Bay, including a franchise‑record 61‑yard field goal.
  • Since returning from his initial quad injury, McManus is 4-for-8 on field goals and 11-of-17 on the season despite saying this week he felt nearly back to normal and disputing an on‑air claim about his health.
  • Green Bay has kept both McManus and Havrisik on its 53‑man roster, an unusual approach that now provides immediate coverage with McManus unlikely to play.
  • The team also ruled out wide receiver Malik Heath for the trip as a coach’s decision, and separate media speculation about exploring Justin Tucker remains unconfirmed and controversial.
