Karty (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Karty was signed to the Cardinals' active roster from the Rams' practice squad Dec. 23, but the second-year kicker will be a healthy scratch for the final two games of the regular season. Chad Ryland will serve as Arizona's kicker for Sunday's regular-season finale.

EDGE Analysis

Karty was signed to off the Rams' practice squad to the Cardinals' active roster Tuesday, with Arizona bringing in the second-year pro to compete with Chad Ryland for kicking duties. Ryland will serve as the Cardinals' kicker Sunday, so Karty's last opportunity to play this season is Week 18 against the Rams.

The Cardinals signed Karty off the Rams' practice squad Tuesday, Darren Urban of Arizona's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karty lost out of the Rams' kicking job after missing five of 15 field-goal attempts through the first eight games of the season, but the 23-year-old has converted at a more palatable 79.6 percent clip through his first two NFL campaigns. The Rams thought enough of Karty to stash him on their practice squad once he cleared waivers in late November, but the Cardinals will bring him aboard and see if he can provide an upgrade over Chad Ryland in the kicking game. Expect the two to compete for the Cardinals' kicking duties throughout Week 17 prep in advance of Sunday's game in Cincinnati, after Ryland missed field-goal tries of 50 and 44 yards in a Week 16 loss to Atlanta.

Karty was signed to the Rams' practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Karty was waived by the team Friday, but he'll now stick around Los Angeles as a member of the team's practice unit. The kicker was relegated to the bench after the team signed Harrison Mevis in early November, and Karty will now have to wait for his next chance to join the active roster down the road.

The Rams waived Karty on Friday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

One of the few liabilities on the Rams' roster, Karty was a miserable 10-for-15 on field-goal attempts and 23-for-26 on extra points through eight games prior to being benched in favor of Harrison Mevis, who has gone a perfect 15-for-15 on his kicks through three games.

Karty (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Bucs.

EDGE Analysis

Karty maintains a spot on the 53-man roster for Los Angeles, but he hasn't kicked since Week 9, as the Rams have moved along with Harrison Mevis at kicker. Karty has made just 10 of 15 field-goal tries and 23 of 26 extra-point attempts across eight games this season.

Karty (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

For a second consecutive contest, Harrison Mevis and not Karty will be Los Angeles' placekicker. The Rams can elevate Mevis from the practice squad one more time before needing to make a decision to sign him to the active roster.

Karty won't kick for the Rams on Sunday against the 49ers, with Harrison Mevis getting the nod instead, Adam Grosbard of the LA Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karty has been demoted to the second spot on the depth chart, though head coach Sean McVay said Friday that Karty "is not going anywhere," indicating that the Rams intend to keep him on the roster. Karty has missed five of his 15 field-goal attempts in addition to missing three PATs while undergoing a sophomore slump in 2025.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Karty will face competition from Harrison Mevis for the kicking job this week, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Karty has gone just 10-of-15 on field-gal attempts this season, with three additional misses on PATs. He's been the clear weak link on a likely playoff team, unable to match a 2024 rookie campaign in which he converted 84.3 percent of his field-goal attempts. Karty has even struggled with kickoffs this year, so it's perhaps surprising the Rams waited this long to seriously consider a change. Mevis, listed at 5-foot-11, 243 pounds, has never kicked in an NFL regular-season game. He signed with the Rams' practice squad Wednesday after spending time with the Jets from June through September.

Karty missed his only field-goal attempt and went 4-for-5 on PATs in Sunday's 34-10 win over New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Karty pushed an extra-point try wide left in the second quarter before missing a 39-yard field-goal attempt wide right later in the quarter. The kicker has now gone a disappointing 10-for-15 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while converting 23 of 26 PATs over eight games this season.
