Veteran kicker Brandon McManus will not be facing any discipline from the NFL after the league’s investigation into a sexual assault claim found "insufficient evidence" of violating the personal conduct policy, per NFL Network. McManus, who has been a free agent since the lawsuit, was accused by two women of sexual assault during a charter flight to London while he was playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. McManus had signed with the Washington Commanders, but he was released in June as the investigation played out by the league.

Earlier this month, Judge Michael S. Sharrit ruled that, per Florida law, the two women’s usage of "Jane Doe I" and "Jane Doe II" does not meet "exceptional case" criteria required to warrant party anonymity. JUDGE DISMISSES SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE AGAINST FREE AGENT NFL KICKER "Fairness requires Plaintiffs be prepared to stand behind their charges publicly in the same way Defendant McManus must openly refute them," Judge Sharrit added.
