"In Week 2, Romo connected on all five of his field goal attempts and his lone extra point kick. He appeared to be set for a lengthy spell as Atlanta's preferred kicking option as a result, but things took a different turn in Week 3. During Sunday's blowout loss to the Panthers, Romo missed both of his field goal tries. The team now appears to be set for a new round of auditions at the position."
"It would come as little surprise if one or more of those kickers were to receive another look. Atlanta also has Lenny Krieg - who lost a training camp competition to Koo - in place on the practice squad. Moving on from Romo after one poor outing would certainly raise a number of eyebrows, especially given his strong showing in Week 2. Nevertheless, Morris and Co. seem to be in position to continue seeking out replacement options over the coming days."
Atlanta released Younghoe Koo and signed John Parker Romo as his replacement. Romo made all five field goals and an extra point in Week 2, then missed both field-goal attempts in Week 3. Head coach Raheem Morris said the team must bring competition to the kicker spot and will continue exploring options. Workouts were held with free agents Zane Gonzalez and Michael Badgley, and practice-squad kicker Lenny Krieg remains available. The team is expected to audition additional kickers and may revisit previously worked-out candidates while evaluating Romo’s future.
