Overview

  • Atlanta ruled K Younghoe Koo out for non-injury reasons for Sunday night at Minnesota; he did not travel but remains on the roster.
  • Practice-squad kicker Parker Romo was elevated to handle duties after signing this week and previously went 11-for-12 on field goals in four games for the Vikings last season.
  • Head coach Raheem Morris framed the move as strictly performance-driven, saying, "You either make it or you don't."
  • Koo missed a potential game-tying 44-yard attempt in Week 1 and is coming off a 2024 season in which he made 73.5% of field goals with nine misses.
  • The Falcons also placed safety Jordan Fuller (knee) on injured reserve and signed wide receiver David Sills V to the active roster.
