Overview
- McVay said Joshua Karty and Harrison Mevis will compete in practice this week with extra reps, with a game-day decision expected before Sunday at San Francisco.
- Los Angeles also added veteran long snapper Jake McQuaide to the practice squad, and McVay said he expects McQuaide to handle snaps if the week goes as planned.
- Karty has missed five field goals and three extra points this season, including a field goal and PAT against the Saints, with earlier blocks contributing to losses to the Eagles and 49ers.
- Mevis has not kicked in an NFL regular-season game but made over 90% of his field goals in the UFL and hit a 61-yarder at Missouri.
- The Rams worked out multiple kickers, including Rodrigo Blankenship, before choosing Mevis to challenge Karty and trigger broader evaluation of snap, hold and protection.
