The Green Bay Packers made a pair of kicker roster moves this week, officially signing veteran Brandon McManus and releasing rookie Brayden Narveson on Wednesday, according to NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The signing was initially reported on Tuesday but became official the following day.
Narveson’s struggles, including missing five field goals in six games, forced the Packers to make a change. His inconsistency in key situations raised concerns within the organization, as missed field goals put unnecessary pressure on the team. Green Bay ultimately decided to seek a more reliable and experienced kicker, turning to McManus to bring stability to their special teams unit.
