A Florida circuit court judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by two women against former Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Brandon McManus, who was accused of sexual assault during a team charter flight to London in 2023. The judge ruled that the plaintiffs must reveal their identities in order to proceed with the case, stating that their anonymity did not meet the necessary legal criteria. The women plan to amend their complaint accordingly, while McManus' attorney expressed satisfaction with the ruling, anticipating his return to the NFL.

• The court ruling requires the plaintiffs to publicly identify themselves, which may impact their willingness to pursue the case.
• McManus' legal team is optimistic about the dismissal of what they describe as baseless allegations.
