Ravens To Sign K Riley Patterson

Riley Patterson is signing with the Ravens after a Wednesday workout, NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo tweets. After spending last season as the Dolphins’ Jason Sanders injury replacement, Patterson will kick for the Ravens against the Chargers on Monday night. Harrison Mevis joined Sanders at the Wednesday Baltimore workout, ESPN’s Adam Schefter adds.

Enjoying one of the best kicker runs in NFL history for 13 seasons, the Ravens moved on from Justin Tucker after a down 2024 season and following numerous sexual misconduct allegations against the kicker. The team drafted Loop last year and stuck by him after a missed game-winner in Pittsburgh that would have sent Baltimore to the playoffs last season. Loop, however, suffered a groin injury in Week 8.

Moody kicked for the Ravens in Week 9, doing so as a practice squad elevation. He opted for a Falcons gig Tuesday, being signed off the Ravens’ practice squad. Because Atlanta signed Moody from Baltimore’s P-squad, it must keep him on the 53-man roster for at least three weeks. That is more security than Moody had with the Ravens, and the team will turn to a third kicker this season as a result.

This is team No. 9 for Patterson, who won the Dolphins’ kicking job to open this season. Miami released the veteran last month. Patterson was 7-for-9 on field goals and 5 of 6 on extra points this season. He was an impressive 27-for-29 on FGs in 2025. Previously, Patterson had made stops with the Patriots, Jaguars, Lions, Browns, Commanders, Jets and Falcons.
