Former Virginia Tech kicker promoted to NFL roster ahead of SNF clash

Younghoe Koo has been one of the best kickers in the NFL over the years with a big leg. He has made some big and long field goals for the Atlanta Falcons, and in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he went 2-for-3 in a 23-20 loss. This weekend, he will not be kicking and, in fact, he won't be traveling with the team to Minnesota for their Week 2 game after being ruled out.

With no Koo in Minnesota, former Virginia Tech kicker Parker Romo has been elevated to take over for Koo against the Vikings, the same team he kicked for in 2024.
