Harrison Mevis is getting another shot in the NFL. For the first time since being cut by the Los Angeles Rams in the middle of October, he's landed with a new team.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported on Thursday that the Baltimore Ravens have signed Mevis to their practice squad after working him out this week. Baltimore also signed kicker Riley Patterson to the 53-man roster, so Mevis will have to compete for opportunities.
The Rams cut Mevis after he missed four of his first nine field goal attempts this season, a make rate of only 55.6%. He missed just one kick all of last year, which was his first season with the Rams, but his struggles became apparent this season.
The Rams replaced Mevis with Blake Grupe, who then got hurt in the first quarter of his debut with the team while trying to make a tackle on kickoff coverage. Brandon McManus has since replaced Grupe, while Joshua Karty has also been used as a kickoff specialist.
