Rams' Joshua Karty: Joins McManus on active roster
The Rams signed Karty to their active roster Thursday.
Karty was elevated from the practice squad for each of the Rams' previous two games and handled kickoff duties while Brandon McManus kicked field goals and extra points. That arrangement isn't expected to change moving forward, per Nate Adkins of The Athletic, so it would likely take a McManus slump or injury for Karty to get a shot at the fantasy-relevant aspects of the kicker position.

Joshua Karty: Goes back to practice squad
Karty reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Karty just handled kickoffs for the Rams in Week 8, as veteran Brandon McManus was given the task of kicking field goals and extra points. The team can elevate Karty from the practice squad twice more this season before it would have to sign him to the active roster to make him eligible for regular-season action.

Rams' Joshua Karty: Elevated for Week 8
The Rams elevated Karty from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Nate Atkins of The Athletic reported Thursday that the Rams used Week 8 prep to experiment having two kickers on the roster, with Karty handling kickoffs and Brandon McManus responsible for field goals and extra points. Karty appeared in eight regular-season games for the Rams in 2025 but was cut in late November after missing five field-goal attempts and three extra-point tries in that span.

Joshua Karty: New opportunity with Rams
The Rams signed Karty to the practice squad Wednesday.
The addition of Karty gives the Rams additional depth at the kicker position in case current starter Brandon McManus were to miss time. Karty was a sixth-round selection of the Rams in the 2024 NFL Draft but lost his starting job to Harrison Mavis in November of 2025 before eventually being waived by the team later in the month.

Joshua Karty: Let go by Cardinals
The Cardinals waived Karty on Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Karty landed with the Cardinals via a waiver claim after he was cut by the Rams late last season, but he wasn't made active for either of the team's last two games. With Karty no longer in the mix, incumbent starter Chad Ryland is the only kicker currently on Arizona's roster.

Cardinals' Joshua Karty: Re-ups with Cardinals
Karty signed his one-year ERFA tender offer with Arizona on Tuesday.
Karty will return to the Cardinals after the team poached him off the Rams' practice squad prior to Week 17 of last season. He suited up for eight regular-season games with Los Angeles in 2025 but struggled in that span, converting just 10 of 15 field-goal tries and 23 of 26 PATs. He'll provide Arizona with depth behind Chad Ryland at the kicker position this offseason.

Cardinals' Joshua Karty: Inactive for Week 18
Karty (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Karty was signed to the Cardinals' active roster from the Rams' practice squad Dec. 23, but the second-year kicker is 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.

Cardinals' Joshua Karty: Healthy scratch Week 17
Karty (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
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.

Cardinals' Joshua Karty: Catches on with Arizona
The Cardinals signed Karty off the Rams' practice squad Tuesday, Darren Urban of Arizona's official site reports.
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 converted a more palatable 79.6 percent of his attempts 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. 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.

Joshua Karty: Added to Rams' practice squad
Karty was signed to the Rams' practice squad Monday.
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.

Joshua Karty: Cut by Los Angeles
The Rams waived Karty on Friday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
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.

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

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

Rams' Joshua Karty: Demoted to No. 2 kicker
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.
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' Joshua Karty: Facing competition from Mevis
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.
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.
