The Green Bay Packers worked out veteran kicker Brandon McManus on Tuesday, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
Although coach Matt LaFleur suggested the Packers would not be making a move at kicker, rookie Brayden Narveson has missed an NFL-high five field goals through six weeks, including a 44-yarder last Sunday at Lambeau Field.
McManus, 33, has attempted 311 career field goals over 10 NFL seasons. His career field goal percentage is 81.4. McManus has kicked for the Denver Broncos (2014-2022) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2023). He signed a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders in 2024 but was released after sexual assault allegations dating back to 2023 surfaced.
The NFL did not discipline McManus following an investigation into the allegations.
The lawsuit accuses McManus of committing sexual assault while on a flight to London while with the Jaguars last year.
Last season, McManus made 30 of 37 field goals (81.1 percent) and 35 of 35 extra point attempts for the Jaguars. He made 11 of 13 field goals between 40-49 yards and 5 of 10 field goals of 50 or longer. He was one of only eight qualifying kickers to make every extra point attempt in 2023.
McManus was the kicker of the Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos in 2015.
No signing was immediately announced. The Packers have an open spot on the practice squad, however.
