Rams lose new kicker moments into his L.A. debut

The Rams’ newest kicker, Blake Grupe, suffers a knee injury just moments after debuting against the Cardinals in Week 6, leaving him doubtful for the next game. Grupe had just nailed a 44‑yard field goal when the injury occurred.

The Rams now face a potential third kicker change as special‑teams woes continue.
