Rams Elevate Harrison Mevis and Jake McQuaide to Reset Kicking Operation for Week 10

McVay cast the change as a week-to-week evaluation to stabilize a struggling operation without moving on from Joshua Karty.

Overview

  • Los Angeles elevated kicker Harrison Mevis and long snapper Jake McQuaide from the practice squad on Saturday for the game at Levi’s Stadium, setting up Mevis’ NFL debut.
  • Sean McVay said Joshua Karty was benched but remains on the roster, and the team will decide the kicking job on a week-to-week basis.
  • Karty’s inconsistency prompted the move after going 10-for-15 on field goals and 23-for-26 on extra points this season.
  • Mevis arrives after going 20-of-21 on field goals for the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions and earning All-America honors at Missouri, though he has yet to kick in an NFL regular-season game.
  • Veteran long snapper McQuaide, a two-time Pro Bowler with 197 career games, was elevated to steady the operation, and both players can be called up two more times before a 53-man signing is required.
