Los Angeles Rams Release Kicker Harrison Mevis, Sign Blake Grupe After Missed Field Goals
The Los Angeles Rams have released kicker Harrison Mevis after a poor start to the 2026 NFL season, signing Blake Grupe from the New York Jets' practice squad. Mevis missed key field goals, including a blocked 48-yard attempt in overtime against the Buffalo Bills, contributing to a 37-34 loss. Despite a strong 2025 season, Mevis converted only five of nine field goals this year, the lowest success rate in the NFL. Rams coach Sean McVay criticized the kicking unit's performance and plans to reassess the operation.
