Emergency Kicker Lucas Havrisik Goes 5-for-5 in Packers' Win Over Bengals

Brandon McManus was inactive with a right quadriceps injury from an Oct. 8 practice, prompting Green Bay to elevate Havrisik.

Overview

  • Green Bay ruled McManus out for Week 6 after he tested his injured right quad pregame and reported he still felt something.
  • The Packers signed Lucas Havrisik to the 53-man roster on Saturday as insurance, turning to him for all kicking duties.
  • Havrisik hit two field goals, including a late 39-yarder, and made three extra points to finish perfect 5-for-5 in a 27-18 victory.
  • The former Rams kicker entered after a strong 2025 UFL stint with the Renegades, where he went 22-of-25 on field goals.
  • Green Bay also shuffled its practice squad by releasing defensive lineman Deslin Alexandre and re-signing offensive lineman Brant Banks, while Cincinnati had Ja'Marr Chase active after an illness.
