Former Packers kicker Mason Crosby lands a practice-squad spot with Los Angeles Rams

Mason Crosby, the all-time scorer in Green Bay Packers history, finally has a new landing spot, joining the Los Angeles Rams as part of their practice squad.

Crosby, who wasn't retained by the Packers for a 17th season when the franchise drafted kicker Anders Carlson, hadn't found a new NFL home despite workouts and social-media demonstrations of his skills.

He had previously worked out with the Rams and, even though this is only for a practice-squad opening, Kevin Petra of NFL.com said he expected Crosby to be moved to the active roster quickly.

More:Mason Crosby had 12 game-winning field goals with Green Bay Packers. Here's how we rank them.

Crosby, 39, is a candidate to replace Lucas Havrisik, who has missed three kicks in the past two weeks. The first-year player was himself claimed off the Cleveland Browns practice squad and has played in five games, replacing veteran Brett Maher, who was released after missing three kicks in a loss to Dallas in October.

Havrisik made a 52-yarder but missed a 49-yarder in the Packers' win over the Rams on Nov. 5. Los Angeles has, however, won all three of its games since. Both at 6-6, the Packers and Rams find themselves in direct competition for an NFC wild-card spot.

Crosby has made 81.4% of his field-goal attempts in his career and 95.4% of extra points since the league moved the PAT back to the 15-yard line in 2015.
