Packers K inactive for Week 6 vs. Bengals

Green Bay Packers made veteran kicker Brandon McManus inactive for Sunday's visit. Cincinnati Bengals due to a right leg injury sustained during Wednesday's practice.

McManus was listed as questionable for the game on the final injury report and performed kicking drills on the field before Sunday's kickoff, but the Packers are turning to Lukas Havrisik, who was signed a contract with a 53-man roster on Saturday – kicker against the Bengals.

McManus right quadriceps injury. He said he wanted to play through the injury, but the Packers clearly weren't happy with the situation.

McManus joins defensive tackle Devonta Wyatt (knee), right tackle Anthony Belton (ankle) and safety Kamal Hadden (healthy scratch) as the Packers' four inactive players for Week 6.

While the kicker situation remains questionable, the Packers have their entire starting offensive line active this week. Left tackle Rasheed Walker, left guard Aaron Banks and right tackle Zach Thome were listed as questionable, but all three were active Sunday. Both Banks and Tom will return after missing week four.

Cornerback Nate Hobbs cleared concussion protocol and is ready to go Sunday.

The kicking situation will be something the Packers will need to pay attention to.

Havrisik has appeared in nine previous regular-season games, all in 2023, for the Los Angeles Rams. He made 15 of 20 field goals, including 2 of 6 on field goals beyond 40 yards and 19 of 22 extra points. He last played for the Dallas Renegades of the UFL and made 22 of 25 field goals. The last time Gavrisik scored in any NFL game was the 2024 preseason.

Kickoff at Lambeau Field will be at 3:25 p.m. CT.
