Falcons Turn to Parker Romo After Perfect Debut, Leaving Younghoe Koo’s Role in Doubt

Raheem Morris said there is about a 90% chance Romo handles kicks next week after going 5-for-5 in Minnesota.

Overview

  • Younghoe Koo was a healthy scratch and did not travel for Week 2, as Atlanta elevated Parker Romo from the practice squad to face the Vikings.
  • Romo converted all five field goals, including a 54-yarder, and earned Player of the Game honors in a 22-6 win.
  • Morris framed the move as performance-based, calling kicking a cut-and-dry job, and indicated Romo now has the inside track.
  • Koo remains on the 53-man roster with his longer-term status undecided after missing a potential game-tying 44-yarder in Week 1.
  • The Falcons also placed safety Jordan Fuller (knee) on injured reserve and signed receiver David Sills V to the active roster.
