Karty converted a 21-yard field-goal attempt and missed his lone extra-point try during Saturday's 17-15 loss against the Texans. The sixth-round rookie kicker missed the first PAT of his NFL career when he clanged the kick off the right upright in the second quarter. Karty did manage to improve his record on field goals this preseason to 5-of-6 with a chip-shot field goal to start the scoring for the Rams in the first quarter, and overall did an admirable job compared to Tanner Brown's 2-of-4 performance in last year's preseason. Karty should have some margin for error early given the Rams did invest draft capital on the Stanford product, but keep in mind that head coach Sean McVay isn't afraid to make a switch at the position, including releasing Brett Maher last season after missing six field goals in his first seven games.

Karty converted a 21-yard field-goal attempt and missed his lone extra-point try during Saturday's 17-15 loss against the Texans. The sixth-round rookie kicker missed the first PAT of his NFL career when he clanged the kick off the right upright in the second quarter. Karty did manage to improve his record on field goals this preseason to 5-of-6 with a chip-shot field goal to start the scoring for the Rams in the first quarter, and overall did an admirable job compared to Tanner Brown's 2-of-4 performance in last year's preseason. Karty should have some margin for error early given the Rams did invest draft capital on the Stanford product, but keep in mind that head coach Sean McVay isn't afraid to make a switch at the position, including releasing Brett Maher last season after missing six field goals in his first seven games.
Karty made two of three field goal attempts and converted his only PAT during Saturday's 13-9 victory against the Chargers. Karty's miss from 52 yards shouldn't be too concerning, as the Rams' rookie kicker still managed to boot field goals from 48 and 43 yards, respectively. The Stanford product has officially won the starting kicking job as Tanner Brown was released by Rams earlier this week. Karty has been solid through two preseason contests, making 4-of-5 field-goal attempts and both of his extra point tries. Karty will get one last chance to get acclimated in a preseason Week 3 showdown with the Texans.
Karty connected on both of his field-goal attempts and converted his lone extra-point attempt during Sunday's 13-12 win against the Cowboys. The sixth-round rookie out of Stanford looks likely to win the competition for starting kicker over Tanner Brown, as he nailed field goals from 28 and 39 yards out before hitting a game-winning PAT. After a 2023 season where Lucas Havrisik and Brett Maher missed a total of 11 field-goal attempts between them, the stability that the sure-footed Karty offers (51 of 60 on field goals and 72 of 73 on PATs over three collegiate seasons) will be appreciated by a Rams' fan base that was spoiled with Matt Gay's excellence at the role (74 of 80 on field goals) from 2020 to 2022.
