Tyler Loop remains the Ravens’
kicker, but Jake Moody’s addition to the practice squad gives Baltimore an experienced alternative if patience begins to run short. Loop converted 30 of 34 field-goal attempts as a rookie in 2025, an encouraging 88.2% success rate. Questions remained after he made only one of four attempts from at least 50 yards and missed a 44-yard field goal at the end of Baltimore’s season finale.His uneven preseason added to those concerns. Loop went 5-for-8 on field goals, missing attempts from 49, 51, and 58 yards. Coach Jesse Minter publicly supported Loop after Moody arrived, but carrying a second kicker is meaningful. The Ravens used one of their practice-squad positions on a player who has handled postseason pressure
and kicked in a Super Bowl. Moody has made 64 of 82 career field-goal attempts, although that 78% rate reflects the inconsistency that ended his tenure with San Francisco. He rebounded after joining Chicago and Washington in 2025, converting 18 of 20 attempts across eight games.
The former Michigan kicker also has a connection to Minter, who served as the Wolverines’ defensive coordinator during Moody’s final college season.
Moody does not automatically replace Loop or create a weekly rotation. His presence instead gives the Ravens a ready-made contingency plan. Baltimore can evaluate both kickers during practice and elevate Moody if Loop is injured or enters an extended slump.
