EAST RUTHERFORD -- Younghoe Koo's homecoming has been waived away.
The Chargers moved on from the struggling rookie kicker and Ridgewood High product on Thursday, waiving him and signing veteran Nick Novak ahead of Sunday's battle of 0-4 teams against the Giants at MetLife Stadium.
Koo missed three field goals in the Chargers' first four games. His attempt at a last-second game-winner in Week 1 against the Broncos was blocked, and he missed two field goals in a 19-17 Week 2 loss to the Dolphins, including a go-ahead 44-yarder with 10 seconds left.
