Rams add K Joshua Karty, LS Jake McQuaide, and make roster changes

The Los Angeles Rams have signed kicker Joshua Karty and long snapper Jake McQuaide to their practice squad as part of several roster changes announced on October 28, 2026. Karty returns after a previous stint with the team, where he struggled last season, while McQuaide, a former regular long snapper, brings experience to a struggling special teams unit. The Rams also signed linebacker Jon Rhattigan to the practice squad. To accommodate these additions, offensive lineman Austin Blaske, cornerback Nyzier Fourqurean, and linebacker Elias Neal were released from the practice squad. The team is seeking to address ongoing special teams issues. Karty will back up Brandon McManus, who recently debuted for the Rams.
