The Los Angeles Rams are reportedly moving on from kicker Harrison Mevis after a truly brutal start to his 2026 campaign. This isn’t just a minor tweak; when a team cuts its kicker, you know things are serious, and for Mevis, that rough start came to a head in the worst way possible.
Mevis’s Monday Night Nightmare
It all came crashing down during their “Monday Night Football” defeat against the Buffalo Bills. Mevis, who had been having a rough go in 2026, went 0 for 2 on field goals in that game. But the real gut punch, the moment that screams “career over” for any kicker, came in overtime. With the game on the line, Mevis lined up for a potential game-winner, and it got blocked. Just imagine that feeling, knowing you had a chance to seal the win and it literally gets shut down in front of you. That’s a brutal way for any player’s tenure to end.
With Mevis reportedly out, the Rams are staring down a major special teams shake-up. You’ve gotta wonder who they bring in next and how quickly they can stabilize that position, especially after a crushing overtime loss where kicking played such a critical role. This story is still developing, so keep an eye out for who they tap to take over those high-pressure kicks.
