LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams will make a change at kicker this week, elevating Harrison Mevis from the practice squad against the San Francisco 49ers , head coach Sean McVay said Friday.

After the Rams' Week 9 victory, where kicker Joshua Karty missed an extra point and a 39-yard field goal, McVay said Los Angeles' special teams issues "can't continue like this."

Earlier in the week, the Rams signed Mevis and long-snapper Jake McQuaide to the practice squad. McVay said McQuaide will be the Rams' long-snapper on Sunday, replacing Alex Ward .

The Rams have been unsuccessful on five field goal attempts this season (2 blocked, 3 missed), which is tied for the second most in the NFL, according to ESPN Research. Their 67% field goal percentage is the worst in the league.
