Mevis Perfect on PATs in Debut as Rams Test New Kicking Setup

Sean McVay frames the move as a week-to-week evaluation that keeps Joshua Karty on the roster.

Overview

  • Los Angeles elevated kicker Harrison Mevis and long snapper Jake McQuaide from the practice squad for Week 10 against the 49ers.
  • Harrison Mevis converted every extra point in the 42-26 win and did not attempt a field goal, with a cleaner snap-hold-kick operation reported.
  • McVay said Karty is "not going anywhere" and that the staff will reassess the kicking job after each game.
  • Karty entered Week 10 at 10-for-15 on field goals with three missed PATs, as special-teams miscues and blocks had plagued the Rams earlier this season.
  • The elevations were the first for both Mevis and McQuaide, allowing up to two more standard call-ups each before any 53-man roster decision is required.
