Blake Grupe, who was signed just this week to finally fix the Los Angeles Rams’ persistent kicker issues, went down with a knee injury covering a kick-off in Sunday’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
Another Kicker Down
The injury hit during Grupe’s very first game on the field since joining the team. This isn’t just some minor sideline scare; the guy was out there covering a kick-off when the knee injury occurred. For a team already grappling with its kicking situation, this is an immediate, brutal blow. You can’t make this stuff up.
Kicker Carousel Continues
Grupe was literally just brought in to replace Harrison Mevis, the guy they were calling the “Thiccer Kicker.” The ink is barely dry on Grupe’s contract, and now the Rams are right back to square one, if not further behind. It’s a revolving door at that position, and nobody seems to have a solid answer for it.
We’re all waiting for more details on Grupe’s status, but for now, the Rams are staring down an even bigger hole at kicker. What a mess.
