Former Patriots kicker who impressed at camp signs with NFC team

The Atlanta Falcons are signing former New England Patriots kicker John Parker Romo to their practice squad, per a report from NFL Network's Tom Pelissero on Tuesday.

Romo was assigned to the Patriots' practice squad last December, and he signed a reserve/future contract with the organization in January. He never kicked in a game for the Patriots, but he did push rookie sixth-round draft pick Andres Borregales for the starting job in training camp.

Borregales went two-of-three on field goals when making his debut for the Patriots in Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
