Falcons Bench Younghoe Koo, Elevate Parker Romo for Sunday Night at Vikings

Atlanta designated Koo out for non-injury reasons after a late Week 1 miss and a yearlong accuracy dip, turning to the former Viking for the role.

Overview

  • Koo was ruled out and did not travel to Minnesota, with practice-squad call-up Parker Romo set to handle all kicking duties.
  • The team said the move was not injury-related, reflecting head coach Raheem Morris’ stance that kicking is a make-or-miss job.
  • Koo missed a 44-yard attempt that would have tied the game in the Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers after hitting two earlier field goals.
  • Romo, a Georgia native, made 11 of 12 field goals in four games for the Vikings last season and has XFL experience.
  • Atlanta also signed wide receiver David Sills V to the active roster and placed safety Jordan Fuller on injured reserve.
