#Packers have signed K Lucas Havrisik to the active roster, signed T Brant Banks to the practice squad and released DL Deslin Alexandre from the practice squad, the club announced. K Brandon McManus is still questionable, so that means he still might kick vs. #Bengals.

McManus said after practice he felt he would be ready to kick by Sunday. In a sign they don't think McNamee is the answer if McManus can't play, the #Packers worked out kickers Greg Joseph and Lucas Havrisik.

McManus didn’t practice but he prepared in individual drills like he was going to kick Sunday. McNamara was shadowing him. Guess we’ll see on Sunday.
