Packers List Brandon McManus Doubtful, Havrisik Expected to Kick vs. Giants

A late injury listing for Brandon McManus puts Lucas Havrisik in line to handle Green Bay’s kicking duties in Week 11.

Overview

  • Green Bay added Brandon McManus to the injury report on Saturday with a right quad issue and listed him as doubtful after he had not appeared on the report earlier in the week.
  • Lucas Havrisik is expected to kick against the Giants after going 4-for-4 on field goals and 6-for-6 on extra points in two earlier games, including a franchise‑record 61-yarder.
  • Since returning from a prior quad injury, McManus is 4-for-8 on field goals and 11-for-17 overall, with misses in three straight games and the league’s lowest field-goal percentage entering Week 11.
  • The Packers have kept both McManus and Havrisik on the 53-man roster, an unusual approach that followed public backing for McManus and his denial of a broadcast claim that he was not fully healthy.
  • Separate coverage cites CBS Sports speculation about exploring Justin Tucker after his suspension, but such a move is portrayed as unlikely given public-relations concerns and Havrisik’s presence.
