Overview

  • McManus injured his right quadriceps during Wednesday’s practice, which coach Matt LaFleur labeled a “major concern.”
  • Despite the injury, McManus told reporters he intends to kick Sunday and referenced playing through a similar issue in 2022.
  • The Packers listed McManus as questionable on Friday, and he did not kick during Thursday’s session, per multiple reports.
  • After auditioning Lucas Havrisik and Greg Joseph on Thursday, Green Bay signed Havrisik to the active roster Saturday as a contingency.
  • Rookie Mark McNamee remains the in-house backup on the practice squad with no NFL regular-season kicks, as the team also re-signed OL Brant Banks to the practice squad and released Deslin Alexandre.
