Younghoe Koo has been mired in the worst season of his career in Atlanta, missing kicks at an alarming and unusual rate. Now he's heading to injured reserve with just three games remaining in the 2024 season.
He'll be replaced by Riley Patterson, who the team is signing away from the Browns practice squad. Patterson had a brief stint on Atlanta's practice squad the last time Koo was listed as injured.

It's a tough end to a tough season for Koo, who had been one of the most reliable kickers in football before 2024.
