ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo will not travel with the team to Minnesota for their Sunday Night Football matchup against the Vikings, the team announced Saturday.
Atlanta elevated Parker Romo to the active roster from the practice squad to replace Koo.
Koo missed a 44-yard field goal last Sunday in the Falcons’ 23-20 loss to Tampa Bay. The kick would have tied the game, but instead, it sealed a Week 1 defeat.

The team on Saturday also signed wide receiver David Sills V to the active roster from the practice squad. In a corresponding move, the Falcons placed safety Jordan Fuller on the reserve/injured list.
Kickoff is at 8:20 p.m. Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
