GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Brandon McManus wasn't sure if he'd get another opportunity to kick in the NFL, but when the league closed its investigation into possible violations of the personnel conduct policy last month, he said the phone began to ring.
Less than three weeks later, he was on the Green Bay Packers practice field preparing for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans at Lambeau Field.
McManus had signed with the Washington Commanders in the offseason, only to be released after two women who were working as flight attendants on the chartered airline his former team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, used to fly to London in September 2023 filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault on the trip.
