    Josh Brown will be the New York Giants' place-kicker for the second year in a row, and Brandon McManus is headed to the Denver Broncos.

    The 35-year-old Brown won a training camp competition over McManus, who was traded Tuesday by the Giants to the Broncos for a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2015 draft.

    The 23-year-old McManus, a strong-legged rookie, will serve as a temporary replacement for suspended Pro Bowl kicker Matt Prater. The Broncos waived rookie kicker Mitch Ewald after announcing the trade.

    "I think Brandon will kick in this league," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Tuesday. "He's a very powerful young man. Needs a little bit of work on the finer kicks, but certainly he demonstrated his ability to kick it through the back of the end zone."
