Fans have been calling for the Rams to make a change at kicker with Samuel Sloman missing three PATs and two field goals in six games, and they could be on the verge of doing so. The team announced on Tuesday that it has signed kicker Kai Forbath off the Bears’ practice squad, adding him to the 53-man roster.
Sloman is still on the roster, however, so this could be a sign that the Rams will allow him to compete with Forbath throughout the week.
Forbath previously spent time with the Vikings, Jaguars and Cowboys, most recently kicking for Dallas late last season. He began his career with Washington in 2012 and has made 86.8% of his field goal attempts in his career.
To make room for Forbath on the 53-man roster, the Rams placed Ogbonnia Okoronkwo on injured reserve.
