LA Rams Change Kickers, Promoting 'The Thiccer Kicker' Harrison Mevis over Joshua Karty

On Friday, the Los Angeles Rams announced they will elevate Harrison Mevis from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
After Week 9, Joshua Karty missed an extra point and a 39-yard field goal as Los Angeles' kicking unit posts a league-low 67% field-goal percentage with five failed attempts.
Mevis and Jake McQuaide were signed earlier this week and competed in practices on Wednesday and Thursday; Mevis made 89 of 106 field goals at Missouri and 20 of 21 in the UFL last season.
Mevis will replace Joshua Karty on Sunday when the Rams face the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara; Jake McQuaide will be long snapper, and McVay said they will re-evaluate on Monday.
Special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn said the operation and standard haven't been met, coaches emphasized competition breeds success, and the Rams are keeping Joshua Karty despite his NFL-high eight missed kicks.
