The Baltimore Ravens release kicker Jake Moody from their practice squad, with the move coming after Tyler Loop’s performance in the team’s opener. Yahoo Sports reports that head coach Jesse Minter previously expressed confidence in Loop despite a shaky preseason, and Baltimore continues to evaluate kicking options as the season progresses.

The Winnipeg Free Press frames the roster change as a response to Loop’s solid showing early in the season, leading the Ravens to move on from Moody. While Moody had been added as a veteran depth option following concerns during the preseason, both outlets describe the decision as driven by Loop’s relative performance rather than a reported injury or other external issue.

Overall, the outlets agree on the main timeline: Moody joins the practice squad as insurance, Loop later performs well enough that the Ravens part ways with Moody from that role. The specific details of Moody’s stint and any contractual or procedural terms are not provided in the cited materials.
