Rams sign another new kicker

The Los Angeles Rams have signed veteran free agent kicker Brandon McManus ahead of Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. McManus won the starting job after beating out Matt Prater in a Tuesday workout. He becomes the team's third official kicker before Week 7, following an ACL tear suffered by Blake Grupe and the recent release of Harrison Mevis.

Now entering his 13th NFL season, McManus spent nine years with the Denver Broncos before stints with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Green Bay Packers. Writer Kenneth Arthur notes that Prater could be the next option if McManus struggles or suffers an injury, questioning when the Rams' ongoing instability at the kicker position will finally be resolved.
