Falcons Kicker Younghoe Koo Cleared to Play

Younghoe Koo, the Atlanta Falcons' kicker, is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers despite being listed as questionable due to a right hip injury. Koo participated fully in practice on Friday, alleviating concerns regarding his availability. This season, he has successfully converted 19 of 26 field goals, showing improvement after a rough patch earlier in the season. The Falcons signed Riley Patterson to their practice squad as a precaution, but he is unlikely to be needed now. Coach Raheem Morris has indicated confidence in Koo's ability to play. Additionally, cornerback Mike Hughes has been ruled out due to a neck injury.
