Why isn't Brandon McManus kicking for Packers today?
The Packers announced Saturday that Brandon McManus was doubtful for the Giants game, and he won't play due to an injury.
McManus wasn't previously on the injury report. He was added with a right quad injury.
McManus already missed two games earlier this season with an injury.
The Packers bring Lucas Havrisik up from the practice squad to fill in, as he did so admirably the first time McManus was out.

In those two games, on Oct. 12 and 19, Havrisik was 4-for-4 on field goals. That included a make from 61 yards out.
McManus had a key field goal miss in the Week 9 loss to the Panthers and another miss in the Week 10 loss to the Eagles .
Green Bay will need Havrisik to maintain his earlier sharpness to get the Packers back in the win column.
