GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) \u2014 Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus won’t be available against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday after he injured his quadriceps in practice Wednesday.<\/p>\n
McManus’ injury opened the door for Lucas Havrisik, who was signed to the Packers’ active roster Saturday in case McManus couldn’t play.<\/p>\n
Havrisik appeared in nine games with the Los Angeles Rams in 2023 and went 15 of 20 on field-goal attempts and 19 of 22 on extra points. He has been part of the practice squads for the Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n
He played 10 games for the United Football League\u2019s Dallas Renegades earlier this year and went 22 of 25 on field-goal attempts.<\/p>\n
McManus had been listed as questionable on the Packers’ injury report after practicing on a limited basis Thursday and Friday. McManus had downplayed his injury Thursday while saying he planned on playing, but he was listed among Green Bay’s inactive players Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Bengals will have All-Pro wide receiver Ja\u2019Marr Chase available after he missed practice Friday with an illness. Chase had been listed as questionable.<\/p>\n
Chase\u2019s availability should give 40-year-old quarterback Joe Flacco a major assist as he makes his Bengals debut after they acquired him from the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Cincinnati defensive end Shemar Stewart, the Bengals’ rookie first-round pick, will miss a fourth straight game due to an ankle injury.<\/p>\n
The Bengals’ other inactive players are cornerback Marco Wilson, guard Dylan Fairchild, wide receiver Jermaine Burton, tight end Cam Grandy and defensive tackle Jordan Jefferson.<\/p>\n
For the Packers (2-1-1), cornerback Kamal Hadden, defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt and offensive lineman Anthony Belton joined McManus on the inactive list. Wyatt is dealing with a knee injury and Belton has an ankle issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GREEN BAY, Wis.
