Ravens re-sign K Jake Moody after another Tyler Loop miss in Cleveland
The Ravens are (again) bringing in kicking competition for Tyler Loop after another miss against the Browns on Sunday.
The Baltimore Ravens have re-signed kicker Jake Moody to their practice squad, according to the NFL's daily transaction notice. This comes after Tyler Loop missed multiple field goals inside 50 yards in the last three weeks. Moody, 26, first signed with Baltimore on September 1 following Loop's inconsistent preseason. However, Moody's kick accuracy improved significantly in Week 1, including a 57-yard field goal that revived team confidence, leading to his release a few days later.
Loop continued to perform well throughout the season, with a 76.9% field goal conversion rate as of Week 5. Despite this, he missed a crucial 49-yard attempt against Atlanta, contributing to the Ravens' loss. Loop's overall field goal percentage has dropped from 88.2% as a rookie to 76.9%. Moody's inconsistent play since his rookie year has been a concern for the Ravens, but he has shown moments of brilliance, such as making 19 of his 23 attempts last year, including 10 from 40 yards or longer. If Loop continues to struggle, the Ravens may have no choice but to give Moody another opportunity.
