Rams could cut K Harrison Mevis: Practice squad names to monitor

Key Points:

• Harrison Mevis missed two field goals in a recent game against the Buffalo Bills, prompting the Los Angeles Rams to consider changes to their kicking position, with coach Sean McVay stating they will "evaluate everything."
• Potential kicking replacements for the Rams include practice squad players like Nick Matsuzawa, known as "The Tokyo Toe," who has a strong college record but limited range, and Louie Smyth from Northern Ireland, who has NFL experience and better range.
• Other candidates are Chase Grupe, who has NFL experience with a career-long of 60 yards but inconsistent performance beyond 50 yards, and Brian Brown, who has excelled in the United Football League with impressive long-distance accuracy.
• Younghoe Koo, who has recently been with the Falcons, Giants, Jets, and tried out for the Titans, remains unsigned and could be an option, though it is unclear if he would outperform Mevis.
• The Rams face roster challenges in signing new kickers, as acquiring players from practice squads requires opening a spot on the 53-man roster, and street free agents have advantages for joining practice squads during trial phases.
