Overview
- McManus hooked a potential game-tying 64-yard field goal wide left in the final seconds against the Eagles on Monday night, with a poor snap compounding the attempt.
- ESPN’s broadcast said McManus described himself as only “semi-healthy” this week, a claim that conflicts with the team’s recent stance that his misses are not injury-related.
- Special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia reaffirmed confidence before the game, saying McManus was getting healthier and had a strong week of kicking in practice.
- The veteran has missed five field goals in his last six games and is converting 68.8% of attempts this season, including a reported 3-for-9 from outside the red zone.
- Backup Lucas Havrisik, who handled duties during McManus’ quad absence and hit a franchise-record 61-yarder, remains on the roster but watched from the bench.
