LA Rams change kickers, promoting ‘The Thiccer Kicker’ Harrison Mevis over Joshua Karty

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams are changing kickers, with Harrison Mevis set to make his NFL debut on Sunday in place of Joshua Karty.

The Rams (6-2) are not releasing Karty despite his NFL-high eight field goals or extra points that have been missed or blocked this season, coach Sean McVay said Friday.

But Los Angeles will have a new kicker and a new long snapper when it travels to face the San Francisco 49ers (6-3) on Sunday. Jake McQuaide, the Rams’ long snapper from 2011 to 2020, is taking over for Alex Ward.
