Cairo Santos nearly had a disastrous first game with the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday after missing a key extra point in the fourth quarter. He completely redeemed himself by making a game-winning 39-yard field goal later on, giving the Rams a two-point win over the Seahawks.

He replaced Sam Ficken, who was filling in for the injured Greg Zuerlein. Neither player can match Zuerlein’s strong leg or accuracy on field goals, but Santos did a decent job. Fortunately, Zuerlein is close to returning from his groin injury that has kept him out since Week 2.

On Monday, Sean McVay said he doesn’t yet know if the All-Pro kicker will be back on Sunday against Denver, but should know more as the week goes on.

“He’s going to be day-to-day still. As far as if he’s able to go this week or not, probably will be able to have a little bit more clear answer for you, probably on Wednesday or Thursday,” McVay told reporters. “He is making progress. Hasn’t had any setbacks and that’s kind of where we’re at with Greg.”

Getting Zuerlein back would be huge for multiple reasons. Not only would the Rams have their stud specialist again, but they’d no longer have to carry two kickers on the roster, opening up a spot for another player.
