Overview
- At the end of mandatory minicamp on Wednesday, Loop made a 40-yard field goal that led coach Jesse Minter to cancel post-practice meetings and served as a public sign of recovery.
- Loop told reporters he acknowledged and accepted his missed 44-yard kick that ended the 2025 season, said he watched the play once and has since remained confident in his process.
- The Ravens have not signed a challenger to the job and the organization has publicly backed Loop, though Minter said he did not rule out bringing in competition later.
- Loop’s rookie numbers—30 of 34 field-goal attempts and 44 of 46 extra points—provide context for the team’s patience after a miss that cost Baltimore the AFC North and contributed to coaching changes.
- Coaches plan to recreate high-pressure kicks in practice to build Loop’s clutch experience, and the kicking position will be monitored into training camp as a test of his mental recovery and consistency.
