The Ravens signed kicker Riley Patterson on Wednesday, an NFL source confirmed, moving quickly to find a replacement after losing starter Tyler Loop to injury and backup Jake Moody to the Atlanta Falcons.

Patterson, who worked out Wednesday for the team along with other free-agent kickers, has made 86.6% of his field goals over five-plus NFL seasons, though he’s struggled from 50-plus yards. He last kicked for the Miami Dolphins, going 7-for-9 on field goals and 5-for-6 on extra points this season before being released Oct. 20.

Patterson, 27, who’s expected to make his Ravens debut Monday against the Los Angeles Chargers, will be the team’s third starting kicker in as many games. Loop was placed on injured reserve last week with a right groin injury. The 2025 sixth-round pick has struggled this season, making 13 of 17 field goal attempts, including just four of eight from 30 to 49 yards.

Moody rejoined the Ravens’ practice squad last month and was promoted to the active roster for Thursday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He hit his only field goal attempt in the blowout loss, a 53-yarder, and an extra point. But Moody was not signed to the 53-man roster, leaving him vulnerable to teams poaching him off the Ravens’ practice squad.

On Tuesday, Moody had his practice squad contract terminated. A day later, he signed with the Falcons, replacing Nick Folk (72.2% field goal accuracy), who was released after nine disappointing games for Atlanta.

The NFL Network first reported Patterson’s signing.
