Overview
- Minter announced Monday that Loop did not take part in the team walkthrough and that Moody will be the Ravens’ kicker for Thursday night’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- The team lists Loop’s problem as a right-groin injury and calls placement on injured reserve a real possibility rather than a done deal.
- Loop missed a 34-yard field goal in Sunday’s 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills and is 13-of-17 on field goals this season with only two of five attempts made from 40–49 yards.
- Moody was re-signed to Baltimore’s practice squad in late October and has a proven NFL track record, having made 64 of 82 career field-goal attempts and handled kicking duties for multiple clubs.
- If Loop is put on IR he would miss at least four games, which would give Moody time to claim the job and force the Ravens to decide whether to keep, waive, or retain Loop on IR later in the season.
