The Green Bay Packers are making a change in their kicking game this week. According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Packers are releasing rookie kicker Brayden Narveson and signing veteran Brandon McManus.
McManus worked out with the Packers on Tuesday and is a 33-year-old kicker with 10 years of NFL experience.
Narveson missed five field goals this season in six games, missing a 44-yard attempt on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
McManus kicked for the Denver Broncos and most recently played for Jacksonville last year hitting on 30 of 37 field goals and a perfect 35 for 35 in extra points.
The NFL investigated sexual assault allegations against McManus this year but determined there was insufficient evidence to take any action.
McManus is expected to be added to the roster Wednesday and kick this weekend against the Houston Texans on Sunday.
