Rams Finally Address Special Teams Struggles, Including Bringing in Competition for PK Joshua Karty
The Rams signed Mevis and McQuaide to fix kicking and snapping issues after missed kicks contributed to losses, with Karty making 67% of field goals this season, coach Sean McVay said.
- On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Rams signed kicker Harrison Mevis to the practice squad and added veteran long snapper Jake McQuaide on Tuesday.
- After two more misses in Sunday’s win over the New Orleans Saints, the Rams moved to address the kicking game as second-year kicker Joshua Karty has missed five field goals and three extra points this season.
- This week Karty and Mevis will duel during expanded special‑teams drills as McVay scheduled extra time on Wednesday and Thursday for competition, with Mevis making 89 of 106 field goals at Missouri and McQuaide bringing 10 seasons and Pro Bowl experience.
- The signings are described as moves to fix the Rams' most glaring weakness, and the team stressed urgency to resolve the kicking game before Sunday.
- Players say the special‑teams room has been struggling recently, and the Los Angeles Rams hope Jake McQuaide can fix snap timing and placement issues while Harrison Mevis shows promise with 20 of 21 UFL field goals.
