The Green Bay Packers have been somewhat busy over the last 24 hours.
They have made three roster moves with two of them coming at kicker.
According to insider Aaron Wilson, the team has signed wide receiver Malik Knowles to the practice squad, released kicker Brayden Narveson, and officially announced the signing of veteran kicker Brandon McManus.

The signing of McManus is one of great significance on Lombardi Avenue.
Ever since the retirement of franchise legend Mason Crosby, the Packers have been struggling at placekicker.
They have gone through multiple kickers since the start of last season, and McManus will now be the next one.
Narveson had missed five kicks in six games, and GM Brian Gutekunst had seen enough.
What could excite Packers fans is that McManus has been kicking in the NFL for a decade.
The former Super Bowl champion spent the first nine seasons of his career in Denver before joining the Jacksonville Jaguars last season.
McManus has made over 81% of the field goals in his career and has played more seasons than he has missed extra points.
His experience kicking in Denver could certainly help him find success kicking at Lambeau Field as the weather starts to turn too.
In regards to the practice squad addition of Malik Knowles, the former All-Big 12 performer from Kansas State is coming over after spending an injury-plagued stint in Minnesota with the rival Vikings.
Making his name as a return specialist in college, Knowles could possibly make a name in practice with his abilities.
