Tap title to read story
The Los Angeles Rams have released kicker Harrison Mevis after a disappointing overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills, where he missed two field‑goal attempts. Head coach Sean McVay confirmed the move, noting the team’s ongoing special‑teams struggles.
Mevis, nicknamed "The Thiccer Kicker," had a 5‑of‑9 field‑goal record this season, including three‑of‑six from forty‑to‑fifty yards, and made all fourteen extra‑point attempts. The Rams will now bring in Blake Grupe, a former Jets practice‑ squad player, who posted an 81‑point‑percent field‑goal rate with the Colts and Saints.
Grupe’s experience includes a 60‑yard long and twenty‑seven‑of‑thirty‑seven attempts from fifty‑plus yards. The change aims to stabilize the kicking game as the Rams target a .500 record heading into their Sunday matchup against Arizona.
