LOS ANGELES -- The Rams are signing kicker Brandon McManus, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo on Tuesday.
The Rams worked out McManus and free agent kicker Matt Prater on Tuesday after kicker Blake Grupe tore his ACL in a Week 6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Grupe was playing in his first game for the Rams after he was signed to replace Harrison Mevis, who missed a 50-yard field goal attempt and then had a 48-yarder blocked in overtime of the Rams' Week 5 loss.
McManus last kicked for the Green Bay Packers after signing with them in 2024. He was 44 of 51 for Green Bay over two seasons, with six misses coming during the 2025 season.
He spent his first nine seasons with the Denver Broncos and one with the Jacksonville Jaguars and was not on a roster to start the 2024 season while being investigated by the NFL for possible violations of the personal conduct policy. In September 2024, the NFL announced McManus was not in violation of the policy and he signed with the Packers three weeks later.
