Brandon McManus Inactive for Packers Due to Quadriceps Injury

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants due to a right quadriceps injury. His recent history includes being signed and then released by the Commanders in March and June, respectively, following a civil suit alleging sexual assault. A 10-season NFL veteran, McManus previously kicked for Jacksonville in 2023 and Denver for nine years, where he recorded a middling 81.4% career field goal conversion rate, including 54% from 50-plus yards, often aided by Denver's altitude. Despite a strong leg, his performance has been described as solid but unspectacular, with a curious trend of better road game field goal percentages.
