Falcons' Parker Romo: Back to practice squad

Romo reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday.

Romo was elevated to the Falcons' active roster for Week 2 and took over as the team's kicker for Sunday's 22-6 win over the Vikings, finishing 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and knocking down his lone extra-point try. Though Romo is back on the practice squad, head coach Raheem Morris said Monday that there is "about a 90 percent chance" that Romo is called upon to handle kicking duties Week 3 against the Panthers. Younghoe Koo was inactive for the Falcons' Week 2 win, though Morris relayed that the team hasn't made a permanent decision on a kicker between Romo and Koo for the rest of the season. Even so, a strong performance in the Falcons' upcoming NFC South clash would give Romo the inside edge on maintaining the kicking job for the foreseeable future.
