OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- In the Ravens' most volatile season with kickers, Baltimore signed journeyman Riley Patterson after his workout for the team on Wednesday, a source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
Patterson, 27, was cut by the Miami Dolphins on Oct. 20 after going 7-of-9 on field goals this season and struggling on kickoffs.
This marks the first time in the Ravens' 31-year history that they've used three kickers in a single season. Baltimore placed Tyler Loop (groin) on injured reserve on Nov. 3 and then had Jake Moody signed off its practice squad by the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday.
Moody hit a 53-yard field goal in a 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, but he chose to go to Atlanta, where he has the opportunity to play his home games indoors.
"Moody had a chance to be here," Ravens coach Jesse Minter said. "He had a choice to make and went somewhere else, [and I'll] leave it at that."
Patterson earned a spot with Baltimore by beating out a group of free agent kickers, which included Harrison Mevis. The Ravens will need Patterson for at least three more games while Loop is on injured reserve.
This is the 10th NFL team for Patterson, who has previously been with the Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, Detroit Lions, Jaguars, Cleveland Browns, Washington Commanders, New York Jets, Falcons, Dolphins and Ravens.
In his six-year career, Patterson has made 97-of-112 field goals (86.6%), which ranks 12th among kickers with at least 50 attempts since 2021. He is 7-of-14 from 50 yards or longer.
Patterson will kick for the Ravens on Monday night, when they host the winless Los Angeles Chargers.
