Former Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Brandon McManus was accused of sexually assaulting two women on a team flight last year.

McManus and the Jaguars are named in a lawsuit filed last Friday by women named Jane Doe I and Jane Doe II in Duval County, where Jacksonville is located.

The women said the Jaguars did not provide a safe environment for staff on the flight that took the team to London for two games last fall.

They claim McManus rubbed and ground against them during the flight. Jane Doe I said McManus tried to kiss her, and Jane Doe II said McManus “grinned and walked away” after she confronted him about his rubbing against her.

McManus and his attorney have not yet responded to the lawsuit, which was first reported by ESPN. The Jaguars declined to comment on the suit, which seeks more than $1 million in damages and a jury trial.

McManus was not re-signed by Jacksonville during the offseason and has since joined the Washington Commanders on a one-year, $3.6 million contract.

“We were notified earlier today of the civil lawsuit filed against Brandon McManus on May 24,” the Commanders said in a statement. “We take allegations of this nature very seriously and are investigating the matter. We have communicated with the league office and Brandon’s representative and will reserve further comment at this time.”

McManus, 32, spent the first nine years of his 10-year NFL career with the Denver Broncos and signed with the Jaguars in May 2023.
