Mevis will be replaced by Blake Grupe, the former New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts kicker who has spent this season with the New York Jets practice squad.
The decision comes less than 24 hours after the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night, in which Mevis had a 48-yard effort that would have sealed the game blocked by Greg Rousseau's fingertips.
Mevis also missed a 50-yard field goal effort in the first quarter. Moments after his overtime miss, Mevis's Bills counterpart Tyler Bass scored his 45-yarder for a dramatic Buffalo win.
Head coach Sean McVay said the Rams' kicking game had "cost us the game."
"I thought offensively and defensively we battled. Thought some of the coverage units, we did some really good stuff," he told a post-game press conference.
"And then the kicking game, especially with our PAT (point after touchdown), field goal, not even close to good enough. It cost us the game tonight."
Mevis, who signed but never played for the Carolina Panthers in 2024, was brought in by the Rams last season to replace Joshua Karty.
In the 2025 season and postseason, Mevis made 18-of-19 field goal attempts, including a game-winner in the snow against the Chicago Bears. But Monday night's misses sank his total this year to 5-of-9.
But Mevis didn't let the bad night kill his confidence.
"I know who I am and I know how I’ll respond as a kicker," said Mevis after the game.
The two-year kicker out of Indiana will now be looking for a new team.
