"After the Rams' Week 9 victory, where kicker Joshua Karty missed an extra point and a 39-yard field goal, McVay said Los Angeles' special team issues "can't continue like this." Earlier in the week, the Rams signed Mevis and long snapper Jake McQuaide to the practice squad. McVay said McQuaide will be the Rams' long snapper on Sunday, replacing Alex Ward."
"The Rams have been unsuccessful on five field goal attempts this season (two blocked, three missed), which is tied for the second most in the NFL, according to ESPN Research. Their 67% field goal percentage is the worst in the league. Los Angeles also has missed three extra points this season, tied for the second most in the NFL. Two of those kicks were blocked, which is more than the rest of the league combined this season."
The Los Angeles Rams will elevate kicker Harrison Mevis from the practice squad for the game against the San Francisco 49ers and will use Jake McQuaide as long snapper in place of Alex Ward. Joshua Karty missed an extra point and a 39-yard field goal in Week 9, prompting the roster move. The Rams have five unsuccessful field-goal attempts (two blocked, three missed) and a 67% field-goal percentage, the worst in the NFL. Los Angeles has missed three extra points, with two blocked. Coach Sean McVay expressed confidence in Karty, said Karty "is not going anywhere," and plans to re-evaluate the position Monday.
