The Rams are calling on a new man to lead its kicking unit. He happens to have a unique nickname: "The Thiccer Kicker."

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Rams are changing kickers, with Harrison Mevis set to make his NFL debut on Sunday in place of Joshua Karty. The Rams (6-2) are not releasing Karty despite his NFL-high eight field goals or extra points that have been missed or blocked this season, coach Sean McVay said Friday.

The results of the Rams’ midseason kicking competition are in.

The Los Angeles Rams will replace kicker Joshua Karty with Harrison Mevis, also known as The Thiccer Kicker, on Sunday in a massive game against the San Francisco 49ers. The move comes after weeks of Rams special teams issues impacting the effectiveness of the team, although some fans question if Karty was actually the problem.

The Rams signed Harrison Mevis to their practice squad after he beat out Rodrigo Blankenship in a tryout this week.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis is set to make his NFL debut during Sunday's Week 10 matchup at the San Francisco 49ers, head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday.

The Rams will let practice reps decide who will be their kicker on Sunday, opening the competition between Joshua Karty and Harrison Mevis.

Former Missouri football kicker Harrison Mevis is back on an NFL practice squad, as the Los Angeles Rams announced they have signed the former Tiger.
