Brandon McManus - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes all four kicks in Week 9 McManus made both of his field-goal tries and both PATs in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Commanders.

Impact McManus' field goals were good from 33 and 20 yards, and he's now made all 13 of his kicks through three games with Los Angeles. With Puka Nacua (knee/toe) and Davante Adams (hamstring) now out for the foreseeable future, this offense figures to struggle to score points, downgrading McManus in the fantasy kicker rankings.

Makes all four kicks in win McManus converted his sole field-goal attempt and all three PATs in the Rams' 24-9 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Impact While Joshua Karty handled kickoffs for the Rams, McManus was entrusted with field goals and extra-point tries. The kicker's first field-goal attempt with his new team was a 30-yarder, so the veteran player has not yet been challenged as a Ram.

No FGAs in debut with Rams McManus did not attempt a field goal and went 5-for-5 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 35-21 win over the Raiders.

Impact McManus signed with Los Angeles this week after Blake Grupe (knee) was placed on injured reserve. The kicker wasn't tested too much Sunday, but he was able to avoid making any mistakes. McManus will have a chance to attempt his first field goal as a member of the Rams in Week 8 against the Chargers.

Signing with Rams McManus is slated to sign with the Rams, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact With Blake Grupe having landed on IR, the Rams are brining McManus in to fill the void at kicker ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. McManus thus represents an option for those who had rostered Grupe or are otherwise looking for a kicking help ahead of Week 7, with four teams on bye.

Heads to workout in LA The Rams will work out McManus on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact McManus will compete with fellow veteran kicker Matt Prater to become the Rams' starting kicker after a season-ending injury took out Blake Grupe (knee) in Week 6. McManus played in 14 regular-season games for the Packers in 2025, converting 24 of 30 field-goal attempts and 32 of 33 PATs.

Packers moving on from kicker The Packers are slated to release McManus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The move follows the team's selection of Trey Smack in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, with fellow kicker Lucas Havrisik also currently on Green Bay's roster. During the 2025 regular season, McManus went 24-for-30 on field-goal attempts and 32-for-33 on extra-point tries in 14 games. McManus, who turns 35 in July, thus represents an option for teams looking to bring in veteran kicking competition ahead of training camp.
