The Green Bay Packers play on the road against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium for Week 11 of the regular season. Green Bay aims to end its two-game losing skid and get back into the win column versus New York. Vegas currently likes the Packers’ chances, favoring them by seven points, though the matchup could come down to a field goal.
Green Bay Packers’ starting kicker has struggled recently
Green Bay Packers, Brandon McManus
Green Bay Packers place kicker Brandon McManus (17) watches as his game-tying field goal attempt as time expires falls short against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, November 10, 2025, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. The Eagles won the game, 10-7.
Since returning from a quad injury that sidelined him in Weeks 6 and 7, Brandon McManus has struggled over the past three games. He has converted just four of eight field goal attempts in that span and currently ranks last in field goal percentage among active kickers. Despite his struggles and lingering quad injury, McManus was set to handle kicking duties and was not listed on Week 11’s injury report.

Green Bay Packers place kicker Brandon McManus (17) watches his extra point during the fourth quarter of their game against the Carolina Panthers Sunday, November 2, 2025 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Brandon McManus must have woke up with soreness in his right quad on Saturday, as the Packers added him to the injury report and listed him as doubtful for the game against the New York Giants. Therefore, Lucas Havrisik, who handled kicking duties in Weeks 6 and 7, will take over on Sunday. Havrisik converted on all four field goal attempts during that span, including a 61-yarder in Week 7, the longest in Packers history.
