Rams Coach Leaves Open Possibility of Cutting Player After Loss to Bills
The Los Angeles Rams could cut a player this week after two critical mistakes cost the team a win against the Buffalo Bills.
The Los Angeles Rams are considering the possibility of cutting kicker Harrison Mevis after their 37-34 overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. The Rams, who started the season strongly, are now 2-3 following the defeat to Buffalo. In the overtime period, the Rams had an opportunity to win the game, but they missed a 48-yard field goal attempt by Mevis, which was blocked by the Bills.
Mevis, a recent addition to the Rams in 2025, has struggled with his field goal kicking this season, making just 55.6% of his attempts. During a postgame news conference, Rams head coach Sean McVay indicated that he would be evaluating all aspects of the team, including the kicking game, this week. McVay stated that the kicking performance, particularly the PAT and field goal attempts, was not good enough and cost the team the victory.
Should Mevis struggle during a kicking battle, the Rams may bring in competition for his position and potentially cut him.
