The Green Bay Packers have officially re-signed kicker Lucas Havrisik to the practice squad just two days after releasing him from the 53-man active roster. The move was announced on November 28, 2025, as the team looks to maintain depth at the kicker position, especially after starter Brandon McManus recently dealt with an injury.
The 26-year-old Havrisik delivered an impressive performance during his brief stint with the Packers in the 2025 season. He made his debut in Week 6 when McManus was sidelined, and he was perfect on all field goal and extra-point attempts in games against the Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals. Specifically, Havrisik went 4-for-4 on field goals (100% success rate), highlighted by a franchise-record 61-yard field goal in the Week 7 matchup against the Cardinals in Arizona — the longest kick in Packers history.
However, in the following game against the New York Giants under windy conditions, Havrisik missed two extra-point attempts. Overall, across his three games with Green Bay this season, his stats were as follows:
- Field Goals: 4/4 (100%)
- Extra Points: 7/9 (77.8%)
- Longest FG: 61 yards (franchise record)
By re-signing him to the practice squad, the Packers can elevate Havrisik to the active roster up to three times during the season if McManus is unavailable. McManus has since returned and has been perfect on all kicks in recent games against the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.
Lucas Havrisik Background
Born September 29, 1999, Havrisik stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 183 pounds. He played college football at Arizona before entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent.

Re-signing Havrisik demonstrates the Packers’ proactive approach to securing reliable depth at a position that can often decide close games. Fans hope he gets another opportunity to prove himself if called upon later in the season.
