The 2026 season for the Baltimore Ravens has become a bit of a mess. While Lamar Jackson is out for the remainder of the year, the 4-5 Ravens also lost kicker Tyler Loop to injured reserve.
With Loop set to miss at least three more weeks starting in Week 10, the Ravens need a new kicker. They had Jake Moody, someone whom they could trust in this starting role. But he was poached off the practice squad by the Atlanta Falcons.
After losing Moody, the Ravens needed some kicker help. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Ravens have added two kickers to their roster to help replace the stolen Moody and injured Loop.

“The Ravens also signed former Rams kicker Harrison Mevis to their practice squad, in addition to Riley Patterson to their 53-man roster, per me and @MikeGarafolo. All eyes on the kicking game in practice this week,” Rapoport reports.
Baltimore plays on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, and quarterback Jacoby Brissett will make his Ravens debut to try and keep this season alive.
While the supporting cast isn’t terrible around him, the Ravens do have a big kicker question that could become an issue.

Riley Patterson is likely the starter after he was signed to the 53-man roster, but if Harrison Mevis outperforms him during practice, he could steal the kicker job.
The Ravens have three days to figure out who can be trusted in this starting kicker role, following the loss of Moody to the Falcons and Loop to injured reserve.
Baltimore is facing the winless Chargers on Monday night, and as of Thursday morning, their kicker situation isn’t set in stone.
Patterson is the favorite, but if Jesse Minter and the Ravens see that Mevis is performing better during practice, they could make Mevis the temporary starter.
