Overview

  • Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Parker Romo’s two misses in a 30-0 loss to the Panthers will be evaluated and that the team will bring in competition at kicker.
  • Atlanta plans further auditions after recent workouts with veterans and also has practice-squad option Lenny Krieg available, according to reporting from The Athletic via Pro Football Rumors.
  • Romo was 5-for-5 on field goals in Week 2 after signing a two-year deal to replace Younghoe Koo, who struggled in 2024 and missed a 44-yarder in Week 1.
  • The Giants signed Koo to their practice squad, per NFL Network, days after Atlanta released the 2020 Pro Bowler who owns an 85% career field-goal rate.
  • Graham Gano suffered a groin injury before Sunday night’s game, leading New York to seek insurance at kicker after punter Jamie Gillan handled some placekicking duties.
