Falcons Place Koo on Injured Reserve, Sign Patterson

News summary

The Atlanta Falcons have made significant changes following their recent victory, replacing struggling quarterback Kirk Cousins with Michael Penix Jr. and placing Pro Bowl kicker Younghoe Koo on injured reserve due to an aggravated hip injury. Koo's season has been marred by performance issues, leading to a career-low field goal conversion rate of 73.5%, prompting the Falcons to sign Riley Patterson off the Browns' practice squad as his replacement. Patterson, who has had a tumultuous career with multiple teams, is expected to fulfill kicking duties in a crucial upcoming game against the New York Giants, who are out of playoff contention. Koo will be sidelined for at least three games, meaning he can only return if the Falcons reach the postseason. The Falcons currently face a challenging path to the playoffs, with a 31% chance of qualifying according to The Athletic.
