Packers Sign Kicker Brandon McManus

The Green Bay Packers have signed veteran kicker Brandon McManus to a one-year contract following struggles from rookie Brayden Narveson, who ranks 31st in the NFL in field goal percentage. Narveson has missed five of his 17 attempts this season, including a crucial missed 44-yard kick in a recent game against the Arizona Cardinals. Despite his struggles, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur initially expressed confidence in Narveson, although he later acknowledged the potential for a change. The Packers may consider elevating practice squad kicker Alex Hale if Narveson's performance does not improve. McManus is expected to play this Sunday against the Houston Texans, which may signal a shift in the team's kicking strategy. The upcoming decisions will weigh heavily on the coaching staff, as they seek to rectify their kicking woes.
