Austin MacGinnis’ NFL dream hit another bump in the road on Monday when he was waived by the Los Angeles Rams before the team’s second preseason game. MacGinnis and four roster hopefuls at other positions were let go, leaving starter Matt Gay as the only kicker on the current roster.
MacGinnis spent all of 2020 on the Rams’ practice squad, but wasn’t one of the three kickers who played multiple games last season. In fact, he was skipped over for Matt Gay when Los Angeles needed to go to a third kicker late in the season.
