Falcons delay decision on cutting Younghoe Koo with roster announcement

The Atlanta Falcons seem to have a kicker decision coming down the chute.

But for now, they've delayed having to decide what to do with Younghoe Koo.

The Falcons play on Sunday Night Football, but Koo won't be their kicker.

Instead, they've ruled him out for Sunday's game for a "not injury related" reason, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Falcons will have Parker Romo kick for them instead.

Parker Romo used to go by John Parker Romo.

He told the Star-Tribune in 2024 that he simply prefers Parker as the shorter, simpler version of his name.

Last season, Romo had a stint with the Minnesota Vikings in which he made 11-of-12 field goals, so he can get the job done.

Koo has been the Falcons' kicker since 2019. He actually made his first try at a game-tying kick in Week 1, but the Buccaneers had used a timeout just before the snap to ice him, and on his second try, he missed wide right.

He had his worst NFL season last year, making only 73.5% of his field goal attempts. Koo had never been below 86% for a season before that.

The Falcons might be considering a Koo cut, but for now, it looks like a one-week tryout of sorts for Romo.

Fittingly, it's against his former team on Sunday night.
