Rams Elevate Harrison Mevis and Jake McQuaide, Get Error‑Free Debut in 49ers Win

Sean McVay frames the kicking switch as a week-to-week evaluation intended to steady a unit that has been costing Los Angeles points.

Overview

  • The Rams promoted kicker Harrison Mevis and long snapper Jake McQuaide from the practice squad for Week 10 against San Francisco.
  • Mevis made his NFL debut and was perfect on extra points with no field-goal attempts as the snap-hold-kick operation appeared cleaner.
  • McVay kept Joshua Karty on the roster and said the team will reassess weekly, citing three paths: continue with Mevis, return to Karty, or keep the competition open.
  • Karty entered the week at 10-for-15 on field goals and 23-for-26 on extra points, the league’s lowest field-goal rate, prompting the change.
  • Coverage noted pregame confusion on Fox about the Rams’ kicker, and Tom Brady later highlighted special teams as the lone lingering concern for an otherwise balanced team.
