The Atlanta Falcons have made a change at the kicker position, releasing veteran Nick Folk and signing Jake Moody as his replacement. The move was announced on November 10, 2026, following the team's game against the San Francisco 49ers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on October 25.
Folk, who wore number 6 for Atlanta, had been handling placekicking duties for the Falcons. The 41-year-old veteran has had a long NFL career spanning multiple teams. Moody joins the Falcons as the new starting kicker, taking over the role immediately.
The roster move comes as Atlanta continues to adjust its special teams unit during the 2026 NFL season. Moody will look to establish himself as a reliable option for the Falcons moving forward.
