The Packers are turning to veteran kicker Brandon McManus after Brayden Narveson's struggles this season, as he missed five field goals in just six games. McManus, who has experience making 30-of-37 field goals with the Jaguars last season, is expected to provide stability to the special teams unit. This follows a tumultuous season where the team has cycled through multiple kickers, highlighting their need for consistent performance in the kicking game.
As the Packers evaluate their kicking situation, Coach Matt LaFleur admits it's a day-by-day process. While he initially downplayed a possible change, the signing of McManus indicates a shift in strategy. The team had struggled with Narveson's performance, leading to concerns about the effectiveness of their kicking unit. By bringing in McManus, who has a history of success and reliability, the Packers hope to enhance their chances going forward.
