After cutting Brett Maher this week, the Los Angeles Rams signed Lucas Havrisik off the Browns’ practice squad. They then worked out five kickers, including Mason Crosby, but they have yet to sign anyone to compete with Havrisik.
For the time being, the Rams are rolling with the former Colts and Browns kicker.
Sean McVay said Havrisik will be their kicker on Sunday against the Cowboys, which will be his NFL debut. He’s kicked in preseason games before, but this will be the first time he plays a regular-season contest as a pro.
McVay expressed confidence in the second-year player, saying “he’ll be ready to go” for Sunday’s game.
“He’s done a good job. He did a nice job yesterday,” McVay said.
Havrisik went 2-for-2 in the preseason but he did miss one extra-point attempt with the Colts. He was then cut by Indianapolis and landed on the Browns’ practice squad before the Rams signed him to their active roster this week.
Los Angeles hopes this will be an upgrade after Maher missed seven kicks (six FGs, one PAT) in seven games this season.
