With the 4 p.m. trade deadline rapidly approaching, the Ravens find themselves in the market for a kicker.

Atlanta has signed Jake Moody off of Baltimore’s practice squad, according to Jordan Schultz. The Ravens’ usual kicker, Tyler Loop, is on injured reserve and will miss at least the next three games.

It’s not clear why the Ravens left Moody on the practice squad despite having an open spot on their 53-man roster.

Moody originally signed to the practice squad in August after Loop struggled, but was cut in mid-September when Loop went 2-for-2, including a kick from 57 yards, in the season opener.

Moody returned Oct. 20 after Loop’s struggles returned. Loop missed a kick in Week 8 and then went on injured reserve for a groin injury, forcing the Ravens to activate Moody for last Thursday’s game against the Jaguars.

Moody made a 53-yarder in his Ravens debut.

The Ravens did not elevate Moody to the 53-man roster after the game, exposing him to other teams.

Baltimore will need to sign a new kicker quickly before playing the Chargers on Monday night.
