"Mevis and long-snapper Jake McQuaide were signed to the practice squad this week because of kicking-game issues that led to early-season losses against the Philadelphia Eagles and the 49ers and resurfaced in last Sunday's victory over the New Orleans Saints. Mevis and Karty competed during practices on Wednesday and Thursday. "Ultimately, in its simplest form, who do I think gives us the best chance to have successful outcomes, particularly in that operation with the given factors on Sunday," McVay said."
"Mevis, 23, made 89 of 106 field-goal attempts at Missouri, including one from 61 yards. In the United Football League this past season, he made 20 of 21 field-goal attempts. McVay said he still has "a lot of confidence" in Karty, a 2024 sixth-round draft pick in Karty, who has made 10 of 15 field-goal attempts and 23 of 26 extra-point attempts."
The Los Angeles Rams will replace Joshua Karty with Harrison Mevis at kicker for Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. Mevis and long-snapper Jake McQuaide were added to the practice squad after recurring kicking-game issues contributed to early losses and recent problems. Mevis and Karty competed in practices midweek before Coach Sean McVay chose the player he believes gives the best chance for successful outcomes on Sunday. Mevis excelled at Missouri and in the UFL, while Karty has made most of his opportunities this season and remains with the team for reevaluation after the game.
