Ravens Left Without Kicker as Falcons Steal Jake Moody

The Baltimore Ravens will need a new kicker, as the Atlanta Falcons have come in and signed Jake Moody. Moody had not been signed to the active roster, leaving the Falcons to nab him from the practice squad.

Atlanta released veteran Nick Folk and has now picked up Moody. This leaves the Ravens without a kicker, as Tyler Loop remains on IR. 

Moody went 1-for-1 with the Ravens, kicking his lone field goal in the team's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now, he will be heading to Atlanta.

Baltimore was having early-season struggles with Loop, as the young kicker went 7-for-10 on attempts prior to his injury. With his struggles, the team chose to re-sign Moody to offer more competition.

Loop then suffered a groin injury, leading to him being placed on IR. This knocks him out for the next four regular season games, with the chance to return in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

With the trade deadline set to end in a few hours, the Ravens may need to find a way to bring in a new kicker. Trading for kickers is not commonplace, but they will need someone to come in ASAP.

Baltimore is gearing up for their Week 10 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers, which will take place on Monday.

With limited time this week to prepare, the special teams unit will need to bring in a new kicker and get said kicker up to speed. 

Matt Prater might be the obvious choice if the Ravens look to the free agent pool for a viable kicker. Prater most recently kicked for the Buffalo Bills in 2025 and went 18-for-20. 

The Ravens need a strong kicker; the veteran may be their best option. There is also the recently released Folk to consider, but he was released for a reason.

The also fellow veteran Folk was released after going 13-for-18 this season. 

Whatever the case may be for the Ravens' next kicker, the team needs to find a new option very quickly. As stated, they are preparing to face the Chargers, and Baltimore needs a win.

The Ravens are on a four-game losing streak, and they sit at 4-5 and in fourth place in the AFC North. A win is needed to get things back on track, but that may be difficult considering Jacoby Brissett is now being installed as the new quarterback.

Needing a new kicker might also complicate things further.
