The Washington Commanders are moving on from kicker Brandon McManus who is being accused of sexual assault by two flight attendants. The team announced the news on Sunday night, a little over a week after the lawsuit was filed in Duval County in Jacksonville, Florida.

McManus signed with the Commanders in March after spending the 2023 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The alleged incident happened when McManus was with the Jaguars last year when the team was traveling to London for an international game in September. The first woman accused McManus of attempting to kiss her while she was performing her duties on the Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings charter flight. The second woman confronted McManus when he grinded up against her. She avoided seeing the veteran kicker again by working on the second floor of the plane.

We’ll have more on this story shortly.
