The Green Bay Packers will have a different kicker on the field for their Week 11 game against the New York Giants.
The Packers were thrown a bit of a curveball during the week after the team added kicker Brandon McManus to the injury report on Saturday due to a groin issue that has plagued him for much of the 2025 campaign.
That addition also included McManus drawing a doubtful tag ahead of Sunday's game versus Big Blue, which means he's highly unlikely to play.
Why Lucas Havrisik is Packers' Week 11 kicker
With McManus injured, the Packers are forced to turn to Lucas Havrisik, who was still on the team's 53-man roster because of the recurring injury concerns with McManus.
Havrisik has kicked in two games for the Packers in 2025 and nailed all four of his field goals and all six of his extra points. Havrisik has made three field goals of 40 yards or more, including one from 50-plus.
The Packers are the second team Havrisik has played in a game with in the NFL. He previously spent nine games as the Los Angeles Rams' kicker in 2023, when Havrisik achieved a field goal success rate of 75%.
While Havrisik is typically viewed as a downgrade from McManus, the veteran has struggled mightily this season with a career-worst 64.7% field goal success rate in 2025, so Havrisik might be a better option at this point.
We'll find out on Sunday when the Packers and Giants kick off from MetLife Stadium at 1 p.m. ET.
