Hits lone field-goal attempt Sloman connected on his only field-goal attempt from 30 yards and hit four of his five extra-point kicks during Sunday's 37-19 win over Philadelphia.

Impact While it was another respectable fantasy showing from the rookie, it is concerning that Sloman has had a kick blocked in consecutive games. It wasn't consequential Sunday with Los Angeles already up 37-19 late in the fourth quarter, but Sloman's kick trajectory is low and clearly a shortcoming through his first two games as a pro.

Bounces back from early miss Sloman rebounded from a 29-yard missed field-goal attempt at the end of the first quarter to connect on consecutive kicks from 35 and 31 yards during Sunday's 20-17 win over Dallas...

Impact The 2020 seventh-round selection nailed the left upright to miss his first career field-goal attempt, but Sloman impressively bounced back to finish with a respectable fantasy showing. He should have plenty of opportunities with Los Angeles boasting a deep and balanced offensive attack, and he's worth considering in most settings.

Earns starting gig Sloman officially won the Rams' kicking job after the team waived Lirim Hajrullahu and Austin MacGinnis on Friday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

Impact In the post-Greg Zuerlein world, Sloman will get the first shot to replace one of the strongest legs in recent memory. In four years at Miami (OH), the 2020 seventh-round pick connected on 79 percent of his field-goal attempts. That said, he showed accuracy on lengthy kicks as a senior, nailing 11 of 14 from 40-plus yards last fall.

Favored to land kicking job The Rams are expected to go with Sloman as their kicker heading into Week 1, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact The seventh-rounder had been competing with Lirim Hajrullahu and Austin MacGinnis, but it now looks like he'll get a shot at the team's kicking job unless the Rams bring in another option following the league-wide roster churn that's about to take place.

Competing in camp Sloman made three of six field-goal attempts during Wednesday's practice, Rams play-by-play announcer J.B. Long reports.

Impact Sloman, who was drafted in the seventh round last year, is yet to kick in the regular season but finds himself entrenched in a position battle with Austin MacGinnis and Lirim Hajrullahu to earn the Rams' job. Although he missed half his kicks Wednesday, Sloman at least converted both of his simulated game-winning attempts. With a starting gig up for grabs, Los Angeles' competition should be worth monitoring over the course of training camp.
