The Green Bay Packers are making a midseason switch at kicker. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Packers are releasing rookie Brayden Narveson and signing veteran Brandon McManus, who worked out for the team on Tuesday.
Narveson missed an NFL-high five field goals through six weeks, including at least one miss in four of six games this season. His latest miss was a 44-yarder wide right at Lambeau Field on Sunday. The Packers claimed Narveson off waivers after final cuts in response to a failed kicker competition between Anders Carlson and Greg Joseph during the offseason and training camp.
