Rams sign kicker Joshua Karty to address kickoff issues
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams signed kicker Joshua Karty to their practice squad on October 28, 2026, after parting ways with him during the 2025 season. Karty, known for his effective knuckleball kicks, may provide a solution to the Rams' struggling kickoff coverage unit. Last season, his kicks significantly hindered opponent return teams, creating better field position for the Rams. The team previously released Karty due to inconsistency in field goals but might consider utilizing both Karty and another kicker moving forward.
