McManus made three of four field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Monday night's 17-16 loss to the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
McManus converted from 30, 40 and 26 yards prior to missing a potential game-winning kick from 64 yards on Denver's last drive. Despite that miss, his 10 total points still made it a pretty productive start to the campaign.

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.
EDGE 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 veteran is under contract until he becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2025, so barring injury, he'll be a kicking for the Broncos in 2022.

McManus (COVID-19 protocols) has been medically cleared to play in Saturday's game against Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
McManus was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday after he tested positive for the virus early in the week. However, he'll be available to play in Saturday's regular-season finale.

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.
EDGE 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 arise Week 18.

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.
EDGE 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.

Denver placed McManus on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports.
EDGE 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 missed one of three field-goal attempts but made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
McManus nailed a 49 and 55-yarder on his first two field goals, but he couldn't convert from 55 yards again on his last attempt. As a result, he's now missed a kick in consecutive games, a streak he'll aim to break in Week 17 versus the Chargers.

McManus missed one of two field-goal attempts but made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
McManus converted from a season-long 54 yards prior to sending his next field-goal attempt, a 51-yarder, wide right just before halftime. Counting Sunday's performance, McManus has now scored four points or fewer in three of his last four games, restricting him to 91 points on the campaign.

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.
EDGE 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.
