Rams Elevate Harrison Mevis, Turn to Veteran Jake McQuaide in Week 10 Special-Teams Reset

Sean McVay framed the switch as a week-to-week evaluation with Joshua Karty remaining on the roster.

Overview

  • Los Angeles activated rookie kicker Harrison Mevis and named him the starter against the 49ers after a practice-squad elevation.
  • Veteran long snapper Jake McQuaide was also elevated and will handle snapping duties in his return to the Rams.
  • The elevations are standard, temporary moves that can be used two more times before a 53-man roster signing is required.
  • Karty’s struggles prompted the change, with the kicker at 10-for-15 on field goals and three missed extra points this season.
  • Mevis has no NFL regular-season appearances but was an All-American at Missouri and went 20-of-21 on field goals in the UFL.
