Falcons announce roster moves following NFL trade deadline
The Atlanta Falcons stayed quiet at the trade deadline, but they announced a few roster moves on Tuesday afternoon. The team has signed offensive lineman Andrew Stueber to the 53-man roster and released kicker Parker Romo. The Falcons also released kicker Ben Sauls from the practice squad and signed long snapper Zach Triner to his place.
They already did it after Week 1. Younghoe Koo had been the Falcons' kicker since 2019, and on his first attempt at the buzzer against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Koo made his kick. But a timeout had been called to ice him, and on the second try, he missed.
Romo joined the Falcons in the wake of Younghoe Koo missing a game-tying field goal attempt at the buzzer in a Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers. Romo was 11-of-14 on field goals and 12-of-13 on extra points for Atlanta.

Raheem Morris comments on Falcons kicker Parker Romo's job status
Kicker Parker Romo missed the attempt against his former team and, in doing so, gave the momentum back to New England following Michael Penix Jr.'s third touchdown pass of the game. Romo has been mostly good since replacing Younghoe Koo, but Sunday's miss was low point for the season.
