The Los Angeles Rams have released kicker Harrison Mevis following a disastrous overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills, according to reports on Tuesday. To fill the vacancy, the team is signing kicker Blake Grupe off the New York Jets' practice squad.
Mevis struggled heavily during his tenure with the Rams, converting just 55.6 percent of his field goal attempts this season. That conversion rate ranks last in the entire NFL, culminating in crucial miscues during the recent defeat against Buffalo that prompted the roster change.
