The Packers are training veteran kicker Brandon McManus

According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Green Bay Packers worked out veteran kicker Brandon McManus on Tuesday.

Although coach Matt LaFleur indicated the Packers would not make a change at kicker, rookie Brayden Narveson has missed an NFL-high five field goals in six weeks, including a 44-yarder last Sunday at Lambeau Field.

McManus, 33, has made 311 career field goals in 10 NFL seasons. His career field goal percentage is 81.4. McManus has pitched for the Denver Broncos (2014-2022) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2023). He signed a one-year contract with the Washington Commanders in 2024, but was released after sexual assault allegations from 2023 surfaced.

The NFL did not discipline McManus after an investigation into the allegations.

The lawsuit accuses McManus of sexually assaulting the Jaguars on a flight to London 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 of 40-49 yards and 5 of 10 field goals of 50 yards or more. He was one of only eight qualified kickers to make every extra point attempt in 2023.

McManus was the kicker for the Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos in 2015.

A signing was not immediately announced. However, the Packers have an open spot on the practice squad.
