Broncos kicker Brandon McManus has been battling a quad issue the past couple of weeks, but he insists the injury hasn’t affected his kicking and won’t be an issue Sunday against the Chiefs.
McManus is 17 of 19 on field goals inside the 50 this year, with both misses being blocks. He is 6 of 11 from beyond 50, including missed game-winning kicks in the waning seconds of Week 1 in Seattle (64-yarder wide left) and last week in Baltimore (a 63-yarder just short).
Denver special teams coordinator Dwayne Stukes said he expects McManus to be fine to kick this weekend, though he left the door open for the possibility that punter Corliss Waitman might handle kickoff duties.
