Falcons Sign Jake Moody and Release Kicker Nick Folk

The Falcons’ move created an immediate vacancy in Baltimore’s roster, leading the Ravens to sign Riley Patterson as a short-term replacement.

Overview

  • The Atlanta Falcons signed kicker Jake Moody off the Baltimore Ravens’ practice squad and released veteran Nick Folk, a move the team announced Tuesday that puts Moody on Atlanta’s 53-man roster.
  • Moody had been on Baltimore’s practice squad after filling in for injured starter Tyler Loop and he made a 53-yard field goal in his lone appearance for the Ravens in Week 9.
  • Tyler Loop remains on injured reserve and will miss at least three more games, leaving the Ravens without a rostered kicker after Moody was claimed.
  • Baltimore conducted workouts with several free-agent kickers and signed Riley Patterson to take kicking duties for the upcoming game, making him the Ravens’ third kicker this season.
  • The sequence underscores how NFL practice‑squad rules and kicking inconsistency force rapid roster changes and leaves Folk’s 42-year-old career status uncertain after a season of misses.
