Still not practicing McManus (right quadriceps) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact McManus thus has been a DNP on four consecutive injury reports due to the right quad that he tweaked in practice on Wednesday, Oct. 8. Until he logs at least a limited practice again, he appears to be in danger of missing a third straight contest Sunday at Pittsburgh. Considering how well fill-in kicker Lucas Havrisik has fared in place of McManus -- 4-for-4 on FGAs, 6-for-6 on PATs -- the Packers have the luxury of patience as it pertains to McManus' recovery.

Inactive again McManus (right quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game in Arizona, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact McManus thus will miss his second contest in a row due to the right quadriceps that he tweaked at the beginning of Week 6 prep. In McManus' stead, Lucas Havrisik will fill again after striking true on both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during last Sunday's win against the Bengals. McManus' next opportunity for game action is next Sunday's road matchup with the Steelers.

Questionable for Week 7 McManus (right quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact McManus didn't practice this week due to the right quad that he tweaked during last Wednesday's session and sidelined him this past Sunday against the Bengals, but Green Bay is keeping the door ajar for the 34-year-old to be available this weekend. Speaking of, McManus said Thursday, "Am I feeling better? Yes. And it's kind of a similar process of what we're game planning to try to get up to." The Packers have a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, and if McManus is included among the team's inactives about 90 minutes prior, Lucas Havrisik will handle placekicking duties for a second consecutive contest.

Still not practicing McManus (right quadriceps) was a non-participant at practice Thursday.

Impact McManus already has missed one game due to the right quad that he pulled in practice last Wednesday, but coach Matt LaFleur told Ryan Wood of USA Today on Thursday that he's "day-to-day" and may "potentially" be able to kick on game day without practicing. McManus has one more chance to do so this week before Friday's injury report could include a ruling on his status for Sunday's contest in Arizona. Lucas Havrisik is available in the event McManus isn't able to go this weekend.

DNP on Wednesday McManus (right quadriceps) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Instead, McManus was in sweats and sneakers, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, while fill-in placekicker Lucas Havrisik handled those duties to begin Week 7 prep. It's unclear if McManus is trending toward another absence Sunday at Arizona as he tends to the right quad injury that he sustained in last Wednesday's practice, but if he's inactive, Havrisik is decent insurance after connecting on both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during the Packers' Week 6 win against the Bengals.

Inactive in Week 6 McManus (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact McManus tweaked his right quadriceps at Wednesday's practice and went down as a limited participant on all three of the Packers' Week 6 injury reports. The Packers held tryouts for kickers Greg Joseph and Lucas Havrisik on Friday, and the team signed the latter to the active roster Saturday as insurance in the event McManus couldn't go this weekend. Now that McManus has been confirmed to be unavailable, he'll hand off placekicking duties to Havrisik for at least one contest.

Questionable for Week 6 McManus (right quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact McManus showed up on Green Bay's first Week 6 practice report Wednesday as limited due to a right quad injury, and he maintained that activity level through Friday. During a media session Thursday, he said "I plan on playing" against Cincinnati, but his status now won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. McManus added that the "tug" he felt in his quad Wednesday "felt very similar to when I had a quad-type deal in 2022," but he ended up taking the rest of that week off and handled placekicking duties on the ensuing Sunday. If there ends up being any doubt about McManus' status from a Packers perspective, the team may elevate Mark McNamee from the practice squad Saturday. If that doesn't occur, though, McManus should be good to go this weekend.

Manages limited practice Thursday The Packers listed McManus (quadriceps) as a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact According to Ryan Wood of USA Today, McManus wasn't in full uniform during the open portion of Thursday's practice, nor was he seen doing any kicking after injuring his right quad during Wednesday's workout. Even so, McManus apparently did enough on-field work to garner a limited listing for the second straight day. Though head coach Matt LaFleur expressed some concern about McManus' availability for Sunday's game against the Bengals when he spoke to the media earlier Thursday, the kicker himself said after the practice session that he expects to be ready to play by the time the weekend arrives, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. McManus' activity -- or lack thereof -- at Friday's practice will likely determine whether he takes a designation into Sunday.
