Falcons’ Parker Romo: Signed to active roster

Falcons' Parker Romo: Signed to active roster

The Falcons signed Romo from their practice squad to the active roster Friday, Tori McElhaney of the team’s official site reports.
In the wake of Younghoe Koo missing a potential game-winning 44-yard field goal Week 1 against the Buccaneers, Atlanta signed Romo to the practice squad and then elevated him for a Week 2 matchup with the Vikings, while the former didn’t travel with the team. Romo then made all five field-goal attempts and his sole point-after try this past Sunday in a 22-6 win. The Falcons have opted to move forward with Romo as their kicker after releasing Koo in a corresponding move.
