"I think (the Packers) just wanted to give me some time to heal the hammy," he said. "They wanted to make sure I was ready to play when I came back because we have a lot of injuries here and they didn't want to pick up another injured guy, basically."
Havner said he had no problems with his hamstring in practice Monday and thought he could contribute immediately. He played some linebacker for the Lions but was brought back to Green Bay as a tight end.
"I think I can help out a lot," he said.
