News

  • Another miss Monday

    McManus made one of two field-goal attempts and all four PATs during Monday's 34-31 loss to Cincinnati.

    Analysis: McManus missed a 48-yard field goal in the fourth quarter that would have given Jacksonville the lead, though he came through from 40 yards in the final minute to push the game to overtime. The 32-year-old made all 15 of his field goals from Week 4 to Week 11, but he's gone 4-for-6 over the past two games and is now 24-for-28 on the season.

  • First miss since Week 3

    McManus made three of four field-goal attempts and his lone PAT during Sunday's 24-21 win against the Texans.

    Analysis: The 32-year-old missed wide right from 55 yards during the fourth quarter, but he otherwise converted from 40, 48 and 53 yards to help propel Jacksonville to a divisional victory. McManus has made a career-high 88 percent of his field goals this season, with two of his three misses coming beyond 50 yards.

  • Perfect on six kicks

    McManus made both his field-goal attempts and all four PATs during Sunday's 34-14 win against the Titans.

    Analysis: The veteran kicker converted field goals from 25 and 30 yards during the second quarter and remains perfect on extra points this season. McManus is 20-for-22 on field-goal attempts this season, with both misses coming against the Texans in Week 3.

  • Converts lone kick

    McManus made his only field-goal attempt during Sunday's 34-3 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: The 32-year-old put Jacksonville on the board with a 37-yard field goal during the second quarter, and that ended up being the team's only points of the game. McManus missed two field goals Week 3 against Houston but is otherwise perfect on 18 tries this season, and he also has yet to miss an extra-point attempt. If he's able to maintain this level of accuracy, the 90 percent hit rate would be the best of his career.

  • Delivers from distance

    McManus made all four of his field-goal attempts and did not attempt an extra point during Sunday's 20-10 win versus the Steelers.

    Analysis: Jacksonville's offense struggled to finish its drives Sunday in Pittsburgh, but McManus came through with field goals from 51, 50, 38 and 37 yards out to build a lead. The 32-year-old is 18-for-18 on PATs and 17-for-19 on field goals this season, with 12 of those made field goals coming in the past five games.

  • Converts lone field-goal attempt

    McManus converted his only field-goal attempt and all four point-after tries in Thursday's 31-24 win at New Orleans.

    Analysis: McManus' only field-goal try came from 43 yards out, and he continued to demonstrate good accuracy at that range, knocking it through to extend Jacksonville's lead to two scores before the end of the first half. The Jaguars offense seems to have hit its stride, scoring 31.0 points per game over the last three contests, making McManus a high-floor fantasy option.

  • Busy day Week 6

    McManus went 3-for-3 on field goals and 4-for-4 on PATs during Sunday's 37-20 win against the Colts.

    Analysis: The veteran kicker showed off his range Week 6, as he converted field goals from 48, 49 and 51 yards, all three of which came during the second half. McManus has now attempted three field goals in four of the past five games, and he's 12-for-14 through six contests overall this year.

  • Makes FG, two PATs in win

    McManus converted his lone field-goal attempt and both PATs during Sunday's 25-20 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Jacksonville successfully converted a two-point conversion after opening the scoring with a touchdown in the first quarter, so McManus lost out on an extra point. The veteran kicker was successful from 44 yards and is now 9-for-11 on field goals and 10-for-10 on PATs through the first five games of 2023. A divisional matchup with the Colts awaits in Week 6.

  • Makes three FGs in win

    McManus went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on PATs during Sunday's 23-7 win against the Falcons.

    Analysis: McManus missed two field goals Week 3 but rebounded Sunday in London by converting kicks from 38, 43 and 56 yards. The 32-year-old attempted just one field goal during the season opener but has three attempts in each of the past three games, which should provide a decent fantasy floor despite the underwhelming start to the season from Jacksonville's offense.

  • Misses twice in loss

    McManus made one of three field-goal attempts and both PATs during Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: The 32-year-old converted a field goal from 33 yards but missed wide right from 48 and had a 51-yard attempt blocked, as the Jaguars struggled in all three facets Sunday. McManus is now 5-for-7 on field goals and 6-for-6 on extra-point attempts through the first three games of the season.

  • Drills three FGs

    McManus converted all three of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: McManus provided Jacksonville's only offense in Sunday's loss, making field goals of 22, 32 and 49 yards. The 32-year-old is off to the strong start for the Jaguars, as he's 4-for-4 on PATs and 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts through two games.

  • Perfect in Jags debut

    McManus made his lone field-goal attempt and all four PATs during Sunday's 31-21 win against the Colts.

    Analysis: The 32-year-old signed with Jacksonville in May shortly after being let go by Denver, and he had no issues during his first game in a new uniform. McManus had a strong showing during the preseason and retained that form Week 1, as he converted his lone field goal from 45 yards and was perfect on PATs. The veteran kicker is likely to be a decent fantasy option this year given the Jaguars' promising offense and his strong leg.

  • Finds new home in Jacksonville

    The Jaguars signed McManus to a one-year contract Thursday.

    Analysis: McManus was released by the Broncos on Tuesday, but after just two days he finds a new home in Jacksonville. The 31-year-old, who had spent his entire NFL career to date in Denver, converted just 28 of 36 field goals to go with 25 of 27 extra-point attempts during the 2022 season. Though McManus' conversion percentage isn't extraordinary, that's in part due to his high volume of long-distance kicks (13 tries from 50-plus yards last season). He was 10-for-10 on attempts from 40-49 yards out in…read more

  • Informed of release

    The Broncos are releasing McManus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 31-year-old has spent his entire career in Denver, playing 144 of a possible 146 regular-season games over nine years. McManus was scheduled for non-guaranteed base salaries of $3.65 million in 2023 and $3.85 million in 2024, so his release is likely about cap space more than performance. While his career 81.4 percent success rate on FG attempts is subpar by modern standards, McManus has attempted a ton of long-distance kicks due to his strong leg and the altitude in Denver, with tries of…read more

  • Perfect in win

    McManus made his only field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: McManus converted a 33-yarder on his lone field goal. For the season, he made only 28 of 36 field goals to go with 25 of 27 PATs, placing outside the top 20 in scoring for kickers. At 31 years old, he's slated to return to the Broncos next season for his 10th NFL campaign.

  • Makes one field goal in loss

    McManus made his only field-goal attempt and made all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: McManus was perfect Sunday and accounted for six of the Broncos' 24 points in the contest. The veteran kicker connected on his lone field-goal attempt from 49 yards out, and he has now made 27 of his 35 field-goal tries this season. McManus will look to finish the campaign with another solid performance in a Week 18 matchup with the Chargers.

  • Makes two field goals

    McManus made both of his field-goal tries and did not attempt an extra point in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: McManus converted from 55 and 49 yards out in the contest on a day when the Broncos' offense struggled. Through 15 games, the veteran kicker has now made 26 of his 34 field-goal attempts this season. McManus could see more opportunities in scoring range in a Week 17 matchup with the Chiefs, as the two teams combined for 62 total points in Week 14.

  • Makes one field goal in win

    McManus made one of his two field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-15 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: McManus accounted for six of the Broncos' 24 points Sunday, but the veteran could have had a bigger day if not for a miss from 38 yards out at the end of the first quarter. In 14 games, the 31-year-old kicker has made 24 of his 32 field-goal attempts this season. His 75 percent field-goal percentage is his lowest mark since the 2017 season. McManus will look to have a more productive outing in Week 16 when the Broncos visit the Rams.

  • Cleared for Week 15

    McManus doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Arizona.

    Analysis: For a second straight week, McManus was limited to start prep due to a quad issue but has been cleared for game action after submitting a full practice Friday. Across 13 appearances, he's 23-for-30 on field-goal attempts, with five of his seven misses coming from beyond 50 yards.

  • Limited by quad injury

    McManus (quadriceps) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: McManus is back on the injury report to start Week 15 prep, just like he was one week ago. He ultimately suited up in the Broncos' loss to the Chiefs and made all four of point-after tries. Barring a setback, McManus should be cleared to play in this Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

  • Makes four PATs in loss

    McManus did not attempt a field goal and made all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Though McManus was perfect on his extra-point attempts Sunday, his production was limited by a surprisingly effective day for Denver's offense. Going forward, it's unlikely that the Broncos will all of a sudden be a team that consistently finishes drives in the end zone. For that reason, McManus remains a solid play based on Denver's tendency to stall in scoring range. The 31-year-old kicker will look to bounce back for fantasy purposes when the Broncos host the Cardinals in Week 15.

    McManus (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City.

    Analysis: McManus was sidelined to start Week 14 prep due to a quadriceps injury, but he returned as a limited participant Thursday and was full go Friday, putting him in line to suit up Sunday. That said, the injury may in part explain why McManus came up short on a potential game-winning 63-yard kick as time expired in the Broncos' one-point loss to the Ravens in Week 10, marking the fifth field goal he's missed beyond 50 yards this season. The Broncos could be more hesitant to give McManus more long…read more

    Analysis: McManus was sidelined during practice Wednesday due to what Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett characterized as a minor right quadriceps injury. While it's unclear when or how this issue first arose, it appears the 31-year-old kicker is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game versus Kansas City. McManus will now have one opportunity to return to a full practice before Friday's final injury report, though Hackett already said he doesn't plan to bring in another kicker for the Week 14…read more

  • Sits out practice Wednesday

    McManus didn't practice Wednesday due to a right quadriceps injury, but head coach Nathaniel Hackett said he isn't concerned about the issue and won't bring in another kicker, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: McManus connected from 52, 41 and 50 yards before leaving a 63-yard attempt short as time time expired in the Broncos' 10-9 loss to the Ravens in Week 13. The kicker appears to have picked up a groin injury during the contest, but the issue appears to be minor. McManus will have two more days to return to practice before Denver needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: McManus connected on a 27-yard field goal early in the second quarter, but he missed his only other attempt wide left from 56 yards out in the closing seconds of the first half. Denver's offensive struggles continued Sunday, limiting the veteran kicker's opportunities in scoring range. McManus will look to get back on track when the Broncos visit the Ravens in Week 13.

    Analysis: McManus converted once from 52 yards and twice from 48 yards for his three field goals. The veteran's other attempt was blocked in the closing seconds of the first half. McManus' three field goals were his most since Week 6, as Denver's offense continues to struggle. Getting into scoring range is a tall order for Denver, but the 31-year-old will look to build off his solid performance when the Broncos visit the Panthers in Week 12.

    McManus connected on his only field-goal attempt while also making his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: McManus converted his lone field-goal attempt from 39 yards Sunday. Denver continued to struggle offensively, limiting opportunities in scoring range. The Broncos' inability to move the ball consistently is a cause for concern for fantasy managers relying on McManus' production. With a favorable matchup against the Raiders in Week 11, the veteran kicker could see plenty of opportunities to produce for fantasy purposes.

    McManus did not attempt a field goal Sunday while going 3-for-3 on extra-point tries in the Broncos' 21-17 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: McManus failed to produce at least one field goal for the first time this season. The veteran kicker has often been relied upon this season with the Broncos' typically struggling to finish drives, but Sunday's win over the Jaguars saw the offense find the end zone on three different occasions. Denver is on bye in Week 9, and the team will look to get their offense on track for the second half of the season.

    Analysis: McManus failed on a PAT to begin the day, then went wide right on a 56-yard attempt with his next kick. Although he subsequently rallied with a 44-yard make, it wasn't the veteran's best performance, as Denver suffered a close defeat at home.

    McManus made three of his four field-goal attempts and did not have any extra-point tries in Thursday's 12-9 overtime loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: McManus accounted for all of the Broncos' nine points Thursday, as the offense continued its slow start to the 2022 season. The veteran kicker's only miss came on a blocked kick by the Colts late in the third quarter. Through five games, McManus now boasts 37 points, ranking third among kickers league-wide. If the Broncos continue to finish offensive drives, the 31-year-old could continue to see plenty of opportunities to add to his impressive start.

  • Perfect in season finale

    McManus connected on his only field-goal attempt, while making all three of his extra-point attempts in Saturday's 28-24 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: McManus ended the season on a high note, making every kick in a close game with the Chiefs. On the year, McManus made 26 of 31 field-goal attempts and missed just one of his 34 extra-point attempts. The 30-year-old could have had a much bigger year if the Denver offense didn't struggle to move the ball as much as it did in 2021, so improvements on that side of the ball could go a long way in providing a boost to McManus' scoring opportunities.

    The Broncos activated McManus (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports. McManus (COVID-19 protocols) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: McManus reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, but the changes made to league protocols early last week have given him a chance to miss no time as a result. Still, he has yet to gain clearance to play and will have to do so ahead of Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. The Broncos don't have another placekicker on the team, active roster, practice squad or otherwise. Thus, if McManus isn't available, the team may eschew field-goal and extra-point attempts entirely when those situations…read more

  • Makes two field goals

    McManus connected on both of his field-goal attempts, while making his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: McManus accounted for seven of the Broncos' 13 points Sunday, as the team's offense struggled to keep up with the Chargers. The veteran kicker made field goals from 23 and 61 yards. His 61-yard field goal set a new career-high. McManus was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, so he will look to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocol ahead of a Week 18 matchup with the Chiefs. If he isn't cleared in time, Denver will have to sign a kicker as his replacement in the regular season finale.

  • On COVID list

    Denver placed McManus on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Broncos could be without both of their specialists for Saturday's game against the Chiefs, as McManus was joined on the list by punter Sam Martin after both tested positive for the virus Monday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Denver doesn't have another kicker on the practice squad, so it could be forced to look outside of the organization to find a replacement if McManus isn't able to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocol prior to the Week 18 contest.

    McManus connected on his only field-goal attempt, while making all five of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: McManus converted his lone field-goal attempt from 52 yards Sunday. Denver's offense dominated the Lions' defense, as the team was able to find the end zone five different times in the contest. Their ability to convert in scoring position limited the veteran kicker's ability to have a larger day with more field goal attempts. McManus and the Broncos will host the Bengals in Week 15.

    Analysis: McManus made field goals from 27, 42 and 53 yards Sunday. After going perfect in field-goal attempts to start the year, McManus has now missed kicks in back-to-back games.

    McManus didn't attempt a field goal in Thursday's 17-14 loss to the Browns but made both of his PAT attempts.

    Analysis: McManus' underwhelming night was a byproduct of the Denver offense struggling to get into scoring position Thursday. This could continue to be an issue for the veteran kicker unless the Broncos can move the ball more effectively. McManus has yet to miss a kick in the 2021 campaign, and he'll look to keep that streak going when the Broncos host Washington in Week 8.

    Analysis: With Sunday's performance, McManus extended his perfect streak through the first seven games of the 2021 season. The veteran kicker's only field goal was good from 32 yards out. The Broncos' offense has cooled off a bit as of late, so McManus' scoring opportunities have been limited.

Though he ended the season on a bit of a cold streak, going 7-for-12 on field-goal attempts during the final quarter of the year, he still managed to finish ninth in the league with 28 total field goals and first in the league with 10 field goals of 50 or more yards.

    Analysis: McManus was placed on the list Dec. 14 after being deemed a close contact of an individual infected by COVID-19. Though he continued to test negative for the virus in the days that followed, the timing of McManus' placement on the list left him unavailable for Saturday's 48-19 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: McManus previously stated that he intends to suit up Saturday against the Bills, and his string negative tests may give him a chance to do so. Still, the kicker will need to be officially removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list before his availability can be guaranteed.

With the Broncos down by one, Rypien took a 10-yard grounding penalty on third down, forcing McManus to try from 53 yards out. He nailed it for his second field goal of 50 or more yards of the quarter.

    McManus converted two of three field goals -- from 49 and 27 yards out -- and made an extra-point during Sunday's 26-21 loss in Pittsburgh. He missed a 58-yard attempt.

    Analysis: McManus attempted his first three field-goal tries of the season after signing his megadeal to remain in Denver just prior to the start of the season. No one will begrudge McManus for missing a 58-yarder in a very difficult stadium in which to kick, but how McManus performs with longer kicks bears watching. He's been nearly automatic from inside 50 yards since the start of 2018, converting 47 of his 49 attempts. Despite a huge leg, however, he's just six for 15 from 50 and out.

    McManus didn't attempt a field goal in Monday's 16-14 loss to the Titans but made both his PAT attempts.

    McManus converted 29 of 34 field goals, with a season high of 53 yards, and 25 of 26 point-after attempts in 2019.

    Analysis: A strong argument can be made that 2019 was McManus' finest statistical performance. He ended one field goal off his career high and a fraction of a percentage point off his career best conversion rate. More importantly was from where he was kicking them; his 14 field goals from 40 yards and farther out obliterated his previous season high of 10.

    Analysis: Sunday's five point-afters were McManus' most since Week 7 of 2018, a testament to just how bad Denver's offense has been of late. The team has seemed to turn a corner with rookie Drew Lock, leading to more opportunities for McManus, but the Broncos will be tested Sunday in Kansas City. The Chiefs helped generate the only scoreless game of McManus' career in Week 7.

  • Nails game-winner

    McManus converted both of his point-after attempts and field-goal attempts of 31, 52 and 53 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: You'd have to go back to Week 1 of 2018 for the last time McManus converted multiple kicks beyond 50 yards. McManus had a streak of seven straight misses from that distance dating back to 2018, but he now has converted three straight. He said after the game that he felt as though he exorcized some bad feelings after missing a key kick in Week 11 against Minnesota. A more confident McManus takes on a Houston team that has surrendered 18 opponent field goals this year, 17th in the league.

  • Accounts for entire offense

    McManus converted a 45-yard field goal during Sunday's 20-3 loss in Buffalo.

    Analysis: Thanks to a miserable offensive output, McManus' only attempt of the afternoon was a 45-yard attempt into a stiff wind, which the Temple product converted. Despite attempting just one field goal in three of his last five games, McManus still ranks ninth in the league in field-goal attempts with 23 and is sixth in the league in converted field goals of 40 or more yards with nine. Next up is a matchup against the Chargers, against which he converted field goals of 46 and 40 yards in Week 5.

  • Misses key kick in loss

    McManus converted three of four field-goal attempts and a lone extra-point try in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: McManus connected on two kicks from beyond 40 yards and made another 29-yarder, but he pushed a 43-yard attempt wide right late in the fourth quarter. If McManus made that kick, it likely would've afforded the kicker a shot at a potential game-winning field goal on the Broncos' final drive. Instead, down four points, the offense was forced to go for the touchdown, and it was unsuccessful. McManus has nailed every kick under 40 yards this year, but he's misfired on four of 12 tries from beyond.

  • Flawless versus Browns

    McManus converted his only field-goal attempt, from 43 yards, and all three extra-point tries during Sunday's 24-19 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: McManus did all he was asked during the Week 9 victory. He's made 15 of 18 field-goal attempts and 12 of 13 extra-point tries on the year. After the Broncos' bye, McManus is slated for a tough Week 10 contest against the Vikings.
