After 3 years of retirement, Maxie Baughan was put on the active list and suited up for Washington in 1974, but never went on the field.

That one is really weird. Do you know what game or games Mann was active for and did not play?

The Packers signed Mann two days before that game, after he had been released by the Lions.

During that game, an injured Fred Steinfort had two extra points blocked by Fred Carr, and Ray Guy shanked a third PAT try.

Who do you think the Raiders picked up the following week to replace Steinfort? Errol Mann, whom the Packers had cut.

Yeah, I checked a newspaper account. Mann was active for the game because the other Packers kicker had an injury and the team wasn't sure if he could kick that day or not.
