Packers’ Brandon McManus Suffers Right Quad Injury, Says He Plans to Play vs. Bengals

LaFleur labels the issue a major concern, prompting contingency planning at kicker.

Overview

  • The injury occurred during Wednesday's practice and was not related to tackles McManus made against the Cowboys, according to Matt LaFleur.
  • McManus attended Thursday's session but did not kick and instead worked with holder Daniel Whealen, reporters observed.
  • Green Bay worked out veteran kickers Lucas Havrisik and Greg Joseph as potential insurance options.
  • Rookie practice‑squad kicker Mark McNamee is the only internal fallback and has no NFL regular‑season experience.
  • The Packers have open roster spots and will issue final status designations after Friday's practice, leaving room for an elevation or short‑term signing if needed.
