Rams Elevate Jake McQuaide and Harrison Mevis for Week 10 vs. 49ers

The practice-squad promotions offer a short-term audition to stabilize a mistake-prone kicking unit.

Overview

  • The team used standard elevations for both players, leaving two remaining call-ups before a 53-man roster decision is required.
  • Sean McVay endorsed the duo and said incumbent kicker Joshua Karty is "not going anywhere."
  • Karty has converted 10 of 15 field goals and missed three extra points this season as the Rams rank last in field-goal percentage.
  • Mevis, 23, has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game after going 20-for-21 in the UFL and spending time with the Panthers and Jets.
  • McQuaide, 37, brings 197 career games and two Pro Bowls as Los Angeles plans to reassess its snapping and kicking operation after Sunday.
