The Baltimore Ravens lost kicker Jake Moody from their practice squad Tuesday while kicker Tyler Loop (groin) remains on injured reserve, creating an immediate need for a replacement before Week 10.
Moody signed with the Atlanta Falcons, who released Nick Folk. Locked On Ravens host Kevin Oestreicher argued that Baltimore created the predicament by keeping Moody on the practice squad rather than putting him on the active roster. The Ravens used a practice squad elevation for Moody ahead of the Week 9 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Moody made a 53-yard field goal in that game, his lone appearance with the Ravens. In 2025, he made 10 of 11 field-goal attempts for the Washington Commanders and eight of nine for the Chicago Bears.
Oestreicher said the Falcons’ ability to offer Moody an active-roster spot exposed the downside of Baltimore’s approach. Once Atlanta signed him, the Ravens no longer had a ready replacement for Loop, whose right-groin injury prompted his move to injured reserve.
The Ravens now must move quickly because the evaluation period that included Moody is over. Oestreicher mentioned veteran options such as Folk and Matt Prater, along with a possible practice-squad signing, but stressed that Baltimore does not have time to conduct an extended search before its Monday night home game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
