Overview
- Los Angeles added Mevis to the practice squad on Wednesday, with Sean McVay scheduling extra special-teams periods to decide who kicks at San Francisco on Sunday.
- Veteran long snapper Jake McQuaide joined the practice squad Tuesday and is expected to replace Alex Ward this week if practice goes as planned.
- Karty has converted 10 of 15 field goals and 23 of 26 extra points, with recent misses against the Saints and earlier breakdowns against the Eagles and 49ers.
- Mevis brings a strong UFL and Missouri résumé, including a 61-yard college game-winner, but he has not appeared in an NFL regular-season game.
- If Mevis claims the job, he would become the Rams’ eighth different kicker since 2020, underscoring persistent turnover at the position.
