Rams to sign kicker Sam Ficken with Greg Zuerlein hurt

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams will sign kicker Sam Ficken, the team announced on Monday.

Pro Bowl kicker Greg Zuerlein suffered a groin injury during pregame warm-ups Sunday and was not available to kick in a 34-0 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Punter Johnny Hekker handled kickoffs, kicked a 20-yard field goal and an extra point.

It is unknown how long Zuerlein, who made four-of-five field goal attempts in Week 1, is expected to be sidelined. He led the NFL in scoring last season, averaging 11 points per game.
