The Rams have turned to a couple of their former players to help solve their special teams woes.

Los Angeles announced the club has signed kicker Joshua Karty and long snapper Jake McQuaide to its practice squad.

Karty was a sixth-round pick for L.A. back in 2024. He performed adequately as a rookie, hitting 29-of-34 field goals and 32-of-36 extra points. But in 2025, he missed five field goals within the first eight games, leading to the Rams to waive him. He also missed three extra points.

He spent time with Arizona last season but did not appear in a game.

The Rams signed Brandon McManus last week to replace Harrison Mevis.

McQuaide had ben the Rams’ regular long snapper from 2011 — when the franchise was still in St. Louis — through 2020. He returned to the team last season for its last nine games. Joe Cardona has been handling the Rams’ long snapping duties so far in 2026.

Additionally, the Rams signed linebacker Jon Rhattigan to the practice squad.

To make room for all three players, offensive lineman Austin Blake, cornerback Nyzier Fourqurean, and linebacker Elias Neal were released from the practice squad.
