Overview
- The Falcons are signing Jake Moody off the Ravens' practice squad, a roster move reported Tuesday by NFL insider Jordan Schultz that said Atlanta will add Moody to its 53-man roster.
- The report said Atlanta plans to clear space by releasing veteran Nick Folk, a detail that has limited confirmation but would create an immediate opening in Atlanta's kicking room.
- Moody had been elevated by Baltimore after Tyler Loop suffered a groin injury and he converted a 53-yard field goal in his Ravens debut on Thursday Night Football.
- NFL rules allow teams to sign another club's practice-squad player to their active roster without the original team’s consent, which leaves short-term fixes like Moody vulnerable to poaching.
- The loss compounds wider depth problems for the Ravens, who already lost quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley for the season, and it pushes Baltimore to evaluate available veterans such as Matt Prater, Younghoe Koo or Graham Gano as quick replacements.
