MacGinnis signed a deal to join Los Angeles' practice squad Oct. 27, but the Sacramento native has yet to make his NFL debut since that point.

Rams' Austin MacGinnis: Loses kicker competition
The Rams intend to go with Sam Sloman as their kicker over MacGinnis and Lirim Hajrullahu, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
After moving on from Greg Zuerlein, the Rams brought in a trio of kickers to compete for the opening, but the sole 2020 draftee -- Sloman was a 2020 seventh-rounder -- appears to have won the job. MacGinnis and Hajrullahu are expected to hit the waiver wire in the near future.

Rams' Austin MacGinnis: Vying for starting job
MacGinnis made four of six field-goal attempts in Wednesday's practice, Rams play-by-play announcer J.B. Long reports.
MacGinnis is currently competing with Sam Sloman and Lirim Hajrullahu to be named Los Angeles' kicker ahead of the regular season. Although he missed one of his two simulated game-winning kicks Wednesday, MacGinnis still was more accurate than Sloman, who converted only three of his six tries. As the Rams continue to rotate reps between their three options, it'll be worthwhile to track who prevails as the starter.
