Rams Add Kicker Harrison Mevis to Practice Squad to Challenge Struggling Joshua Karty

The move creates immediate pressure on Joshua Karty following a run of misses that culminated in failures against the Saints.

Overview

  • The team announced the practice-squad signing of Harrison Mevis on Wednesday after Sean McVay signaled competition was coming at kicker.
  • Joshua Karty has missed an NFL-high eight kicks in eight games this season, including a field goal and an extra point in the loss to New Orleans.
  • Mevis has not appeared in a regular-season NFL game but logged brief stints with the Panthers and Jets after going undrafted in 2024.
  • He converted 20 of 21 field goals with the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions and left Missouri with an 89-for-106 career mark and a 61-yard SEC-record kick.
  • To open a practice-squad spot for Mevis, the Rams promoted running back Ronnie Rivers to the 53-man roster.
