The Packers may have a new kicker on Sunday against the Bengals.
With Brandon McManus listed as questionable due to a quad injury, the Packers have signed kicker Lucas Havrisik to the active roster.
The status of McManus became a somewhat bizarre point of contention this week. After coach Matt LaFleur called the injury a “ major concern ,” McManus said he plans to play . Special-teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia echoed that sentiment.
Of course, McManus still could be ready to go. The Packers are nevertheless planning for the possibility he won’t by devoting a second roster spot to a kicker.
Havrisik, 26, kicked for the Rams in 2023. In nine regular-season games, he converted 15 of 20 field goals and 19 of 22 extra points.
He kicked for the Arlington (now Dallas) Renegades of the UFL in 2025.
