The Los Angeles Rams made a notable roster move on October 31 by promoting kicker Joshua Karty and long snapper Jake McQuaide from the practice squad ahead of their game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Karty, previously waived for struggling on field goals and extra points, may help with kickoffs. McQuaide is likely to start due to current long snapper Joe Cardona being doubtful with an ankle injury. The Rams have also retained kicker Brandon McManus, complicating the expected roles of Karty and McQuaide in the game.
