Taylor Russolino - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Demoted to practice squad Russolino reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Russolino endured a disastrous day filling in at kicker Saturday against the Bills with Brandon McManus residing on the reserve/COVID-19 list for Week 15. The XFL standout made just one of three point-after attempts, missing his lone field-goal try of 51 yards.

Joins Denver's roster The Broncos elevated Russolino from their practice squad Friday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Russolino will be making his NFL debut Saturday against the Bills, serving as Denver's kicker after Brandon McManus (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week. Though McManus continues to test negative for the virus, the timing of his placement on the list will prevent him from gaining clearance ahead of Saturday's game, so Russolino was needed for what will likely just be a one-game stint with Denver. Russolino's most recent professional action came earlier in 2020, when he converted nine of 10 field-goal tries for the XFL's St. Louis BattleHawks.

Likely to start Saturday? Russolino would stand to start Saturday's game against the Bills if Brandon McManus (COVID-19 list) is unavailable, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Coach Vic Fangio said Thursday that he doesn't expect McManus to be available Week 15, so it looks like Russolini could be set to make his first NFL start. The 31-year-old recently saw action as a member of the St. Louis BattleHawks in the XFL, when he converted nine of 10 field-goal attempts.

Inks practice squad deal Russolino signed on to join the Broncos' practice squad Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact The 31-year-old made a positive impression during his XFL stint with the St. Louis BattleHawks, sinking nine of his 10 attempts while converting a long of 58 yards. Denver's starting kicker, Brandon McManus, has posted a sterling 91.7 percent conversion rate over 24 attempts this season. However, the Broncos have learned the hard way about preparing contingency plans in case of COVID-induced absences.
