The Los Angeles Rams are parting ways with kicker Harrison Mevis less than 24 hours after he went 0-for-2 on field-goal attempts in a 37-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo report.
The Rams are signing kicker Blake Grupe off the New York Jets’ practice squad to replace Mevis.
After Monday night’s loss, head coach Sean McVay promised to “evaluate everything” with the field-goal unit. He added that the kicking game “cost us the game.”
Mevis missed his first field goal on the Rams’ opening drive, hooking a 50-yard attempt wide left. His final kick could have won the game in overtime, but the 48-yard try was blocked by the Bills, who went on to kick the decisive field goal on the ensuing drive.
