"Green Bay's regular kicker Brandon McManus was off the injury report with three full practices this week, so Havrisik will take his leave after filling in for three games this year. The team had been keeping Havrisik close even during McManus' healthy stretches, but after the backup missed two extra point attempts at MetLife this weekend, the Packers relinquished him to the waiver wire."
"O'Connell had already been called up as a gameday elevation three times this year, so if Seattle wanted to see him on the field again, this move was necessary. In his most recent elevation, O'Connell was asked to play a much bigger role, staying in for over half the team's defensive snaps. In his first extended opportunity, O'Connell finished second on the team with nine tackles and even logged his first career sack."
"The team had been keeping Havrisik close even during McManus' healthy stretches, but after the backup missed two extra point attempts at MetLife this weekend, the Packers relinquished him to the waiver wire. Jones missed most of his rookie campaign due to a knee injury, and the same has been true of his sophomore season. This time, though, he's coming back with a bit more time left in the season."
Multiple NFL teams made minor roster moves and gameday practice-squad elevations ahead of the Thanksgiving slate, including Arizona, Cincinnati, Dallas, Green Bay, Kansas City, New England, Philadelphia, Seattle and Tampa Bay. Green Bay's Brandon McManus cleared the injury report after three full practices, prompting the Packers to waive emergency fill-in Havrisik after missed extra points. A player named Jones missed most of his rookie and sophomore seasons due to knee injuries but is returning with more time left in the season. Seahawks' O'Connell received another elevation and previously delivered substantial defensive snaps, nine tackles and a first career sack.
