Packers Sign McManus, McKinney Sets Interception Record

The Green Bay Packers have signed veteran kicker Brandon McManus following the release of rookie kicker Brayden Narveson, who struggled with consistency, missing five field goals in six games. McManus, an experienced NFL player with an 81.4% field goal accuracy, was cleared by the NFL of sexual assault allegations, allowing him to return to play. This signing aims to stabilize Green Bay's special teams as they face a critical game against the Houston Texans. Meanwhile, Packers safety Xavier McKinney has made headlines by intercepting a pass in each of his first five games, becoming the first player since the 1970 merger to achieve this feat and matching a team record for consecutive games with interceptions. Teammates and coaches commend McKinney's ability to read plays and contribute to the team's defensive success. These moves and performances underscore the Packers' focus on improving their roster for better outcomes this NFL season.
