Jesse Minter affirms Tyler Loop as Baltimore Ravens starting kicker

Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter confirmed Monday that Tyler Loop remains the team’s starting kicker heading into the regular season opener against Indianapolis. The coach addressed public uncertainty following the recent addition of Jake Moody to the team's practice squad. Minter characterized the signing as a strategic move to provide roster insurance rather than a reflection of dissatisfaction with the second-year rookie. He stated that the team expects Loop to handle all kicking duties when the season begins. The Ravens intend to maintain depth across all specialist positions as they prepare for the upcoming schedule. Minter emphasized his continued confidence in the current depth chart despite the move to bring in additional competition for the practice squad.
