The Washington Commanders have released kicker Brandon McManus after two women sued him for sexual assault. Two women filed a lawsuit in civil court last week alleging McManus assaulted him on the Jacksonville Jaguars' flight to London in September when he played for the team. A message sent to McManus' camp was not immediately returned.
FILE - Jacksonville Jaguars placekicker Brandon McManus stands on the sideline during an NFL football game against the Houston Texans, Nov. 26, 2023, in Houston. The Washington Commanders say they were made aware Monday, May 27, 2024, of a lawsuit filed in civil court against McManus last week. A spokesperson says the team is looking into the matter and has spoken with McManus’ agent and the NFL office.
A message sent to McManus’ camp was not immediately returned. Brett R. Gallaway, an attorney representing McManus, on Monday called the allegations “absolutely fictitious and demonstrably false.” McManus, 32, signed with Washington in March after playing last season, his 10th in the NFL, with Jacksonville. The Commanders and Jaguars earlier in the week each said they were looking into the situation.
