- On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Rams signed veteran kicker Brandon McManus to replace Blake Grupe, who was placed on injured reserve after suffering a season-ending torn ACL during his Rams debut on Sunday.

- The 35-year-old brings 12 years of NFL experience, boasting an 82.0% career conversion rate on field goals and 97.4% on extra points, plus a 2015 Super Bowl title with the Denver Broncos.
- According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Rams worked out McManus and veteran Matt Prater on Tuesday before selecting McManus to address the vacancy created by Grupe's injury.
- The team travels to Las Vegas for a Week 7 matchup against the Raiders, seeking to stabilize special teams performance after recent roster turbulence.
