Rams release K Brett Maher
The Los Angeles Rams released Brett Maher on Tuesday, two days after the kicker missed two field goals and an extra-point attempt in a 24-17 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Rams do not have another kicker on their roster, however ESPN reported the Rams are planning to sign Lucas Havrisik off the practice squad of the Cleveland Browns. Havrisik, 24, has yet to kick in an NFL regular-season game.
Maher, 33, is 17-for-23 on field goal attempts this season, with four of the six misfires coming from over 50 yards. His missed field goal tries against the Steelers were from 51 and 53 yards. Maher connected on 29 of 32 field goal attempts for the Dallas Cowboys last season, but it was the four missed extra points in the wild-card win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that sealed his fate in Dallas.
He has made 111 of 139 field goal attempts and 140 of 147 extra-point tries in his career with the New Orleans Saints, Cowboys and Rams.
