Ravens Sign Riley Patterson After Losing Two Kickers

Baltimore moved to add a kicker after losing both players who had recently filled the role. Tyler Loop landed on the injured list last week because of a right groin injury, while Jake Moody signed with Atlanta on November 12 after the Ravens ended his practice-squad contract a day earlier.

Patterson, 27, was among several free-agent kickers who worked out for the Ravens on November 11. He has converted 86.6% of his field-goal attempts over more than five NFL seasons, but has had difficulty on kicks from 50 yards or farther.

His most recent stop was with the Miami Dolphins. Patterson made seven of nine field goals and five of six extra points this season before Miami released him on October 20. He is expected to play for Baltimore against the Chargers on November 16, becoming the team’s third starting kicker in three games.

Loop, a 2025 sixth-round draft pick, made 13 of 17 field goals this season, including four of eight from 30 to 49 yards. Moody returned to Baltimore’s practice squad last month and was promoted for the November 5 game against Jacksonville. He made a 53-yard field goal and an extra point in the loss, but was not added to the 53-player roster, leaving him eligible for another team to sign.

Atlanta signed Moody after releasing Nick Folk, who made 72.2% of his field goals over nine games. The Ravens’ signing of Patterson gives them a new option ahead of the Chargers game.
