The Los Angeles Rams signed kicker Kai Forbath
to their active roster and placed linebacker Ogbonnia Okoronkwo
on injured reserve, the team announced Tuesday.
Forbath was signed off the Chicago Bears' practice squad, two
days after Rams rookie kicker Samuel Sloman missed an extra
point during a 24-16 setback to San Francisco.
Sloman, 23, has made 7 of 9 field-goal attempts and 15 of 18
extra-point tries this season.
Forbath, 33, converted all 11 of his field-goal attempts in four
games with the Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots in 2019.
Forbath has a career field-goal percentage of 86.8 in 81 career
games with Washington, New Orleans, Minnesota, Jacksonville,
Dallas and New England.
The 25-year-old Okoronkwo, who is sidelined with an elbow
injury, has recorded eight tackles and one sack in five games
this season. He has 15 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 15 career games
with the Rams.
