Packers sign WR Will Sheppard to active roster, waive K Lucas Havrisik

The Green Bay Packers have made several roster adjustments ahead of their Thursday matchup against the Detroit Lions. Wide receiver Will Sheppard has been promoted to the active roster from the practice squad, while kicker Lucas Havrisik has been waived. Sheppard, who joined the Packers as an undrafted free agent, has yet to play in a regular season game. The move comes as other receivers, Matthew Golden and Dontayvion Wicks, have been limited in practice, and Jayden Reed is transitioning from the practice squad. Havrisik, who successfully completed 3-of-3 field goals and 7-of-9 extra points in three games, loses his spot as Brandon McManus is reinstated as the team's primary kicker. Additionally, the Packers have elevated linebacker Jamon Johnson and defensive back Jaylin Simpson from the practice squad.
