In a span of weeks, the Los Angeles Rams went from having one of the best kickers in the game to one the coaches lack trust in. After Greg Zuerlein went down with an injury in Week 2, the Rams once again turned to Sam Ficken – the second time they’ve done so in the past two seasons.

He was shaky at the end of last season but seemed to find a groove in the playoff loss to the Rams. Through two games this season, it’s become evident that Los Angeles needs to make a change.

Sean McVay was asked about moving forward with Ficken on Friday and he wouldn’t commit to the former Nittany Lion.

“Certainly we’ve got to be better in that area when we get a chance to go up 13 (points) in a game that’s been back and forth. Those are plays that we have to be able to make and make them consistently,” McVay said. “Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case the last couple weeks, but every decision we make is something that we discuss as a staff. Until I have a chance to really sit down, talk with ‘Bones’ and talk with Matt (Daniels) and everybody that’s involved, we haven’t made any decision like that.”

Ficken has made just one of three field goal attempts this season, coming from 34 yards out. He’s made all 10 of his extra points, but the missed 28-yarder on Thursday night may have been the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

As for Zuerlein, McVay originally said he’d be out anywhere from three to six weeks. He shared a brief update on the All-Pro last week, saying he’s still far from returning.

“Greg is making progress right now. As far as what that timetable is, I think it’s still a little bit of a ways away,” McVay said.

With a long break until Week 5, it wouldn’t be the least bit surprising to see the Rams try out a few kickers and possibly make a change.
