In a significant matchup, the Green Bay Packers are set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. Key players are returning to bolster the Packers’ lineup, potentially influencing the game’s outcome.
Packers’ Key Players Active Against Steelers
Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus is back in action on October 26. After missing two games due to a quad injury, he participated in practice on October 23. His return means Lucas Havrisik, who performed flawlessly in recent weeks, is now inactive.
- Havrisik scored a franchise-record 61-yard field goal against the Arizona Cardinals.
- McManus was listed as questionable in the October 24 injury report.
Defensive Reinforcements
Devonte Wyatt is also back on the field after a knee injury. He had shown impressive performance at the start of the season, recording two sacks in his first two games. Wyatt had previously missed two games and is expected to provide a critical boost to the Packers’ defense against the Steelers.
- Wyatt’s last appearance was in Week 4 against Dallas.
- He returned to action quicker than last season when an ankle injury sidelined him for three games.
Roster Changes and Inactive Players
Rookie receiver Matthew Golden, who was limited in practice, has been marked active for this game, while receiver Dontayvion Wicks will not participate due to a knee injury. The inactive list includes defensive end Lukas Van Ness, offensive linemen Jacob Monk and Donovan Jennings, and defensive tackle Warren Brinson, along with Wicks.
For the Steelers, several players are declared inactive, including:
- Wide receiver Scotty Miller
- Offensive lineman Andrus Peat
- Defensive tackle Logan Lee
- Defensive end Demarvin Leal
With key players like McManus, Wyatt, and Golden active, the Packers aim to leverage their momentum in this pivotal game against the Steelers.
