Falcons Rule Out Younghoe Koo, Elevate John Parker Romo; S Jordan Fuller Placed On IR

September 13th, 2025 at 6:21pm CST by Ely Allen

The Falcons made it clear that kicker Younghoe Koo was in danger of losing his role as the team’s primary kicker as they hosted a number of free agents and eventually signed John Parker Romo to the practice squad. Atlanta made the decision today to rule Koo out for the game and promote Romo as a standard gameday practice squad elevation.

Koo, playing in the fourth year of his five-year, $24.25MM contract, came into the season on thin ice. Koo’s first three years in Atlanta were stellar as he only missed seven of 94 field goal attempts. In the 2022 and 2023 seasons, though, Koo’s identical 32-for-37 results marked a career high for misses. The wheels seemed to come off in 2024 as Koo missed nine of 34 field goal attempts.

Therefore, when Koo missed a 44-yarder in an attempt to send the Falcons into overtime in their Week 1 matchup with the Buccaneers, it became apparent that he may lose more than just the game. With Romo coming in Tuesday, Koo had the week to change his coaches’ minds. In the end, he will not travel with the team. His out designation reasoning has been ruled as not being injury related.

Romo will get another opportunity after a short stint with the Vikings last year. When Minnesota’s regular kicker Will Reichard was placed on injured reserve, the team signed Romo to fill in. The latter did phenomenally in his time as a substitute, making 11 of 12 attempts, including a 55-yarder, though he did miss one of eight extra point attempts. Reichard’s stint on IR lasted the minimum four weeks, and Romo was waived upon his return.

The Falcons also placed safety Jordan Fuller on IR. The sixth-year veteran was among those released by Atlanta during roster cutdowns, but he found himself back in the fold shortly thereafter. Fuller played a special teams role in Week 1, but a knee injury will now result in an extended absence. At least a four-week spell on the sidelines is in store as a result of today’s move.

Atlanta’s other gameday elevation for Monday night is receiver David Sills. One of the team’s callups last week, Sills played just two snaps against the Buccaneers. A limited workload should again be in store this time around.

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 9/13/25

September 13th, 2025 at 4:51pm CST by Ely Allen

Here are Saturday’s practice squad moves:

Chicago Bears

Indianapolis Colts

Washington Commanders

The Commanders needed Wishnowsky as insurance with regular punter Tress Way dealing with back issues throughout the week, but having made it through Week 2 with a heathy Way, Washington brings back Cager, whom they dropped to make room for Wishnowsky.

Carlton was moved off the practice squad to make room for former third-round kicker Jake Moody, who cleared waivers after getting cut from San Francisco this week and signed a practice squad deal in Chicago.

Bears To Sign K Jake Moody

September 12th, 2025 at 10:30pm CST by Adam La Rose

Jake Moody has quickly managed to find a new home in the NFL. The ex-49ers kicker is signing with the Bears, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports.

To no surprise, Schultz adds this will be a practice squad agreement. Moody cleared waivers this week, leaving him free to sign with any interested team. In short order, Chicago has moved forward with a deal.

The Bears have Cairo Santos in place as their kicker once again for 2025. The veteran’s second Chicago stint began in 2020, and he has delivered consistent performances over that span. Santos missed one of his two field goal attempts in Week 1, but he is not viewed as being in danger of being replaced. Nevertheless, Moody is now set to join the organization as a depth option.

The former third-rounder entered the league with high expectations given the rarity of kickers being selected that high in the draft. Moody enjoyed a strong rookie campaign, connecting on 21 of 25 field goal tries and all but one of his extra point attempts. The 25-year-old struggled last season, however, and calls about a change intensified following Week 1 of the current campaign. Moody missed a 27-yard field goal on Sunday and a 36-yard attempt was blocked. San Francisco moved on, signing Eddy Pineiro shortly thereafter to serve as his replacement.

Santos is under contract through 2027 thanks to the extension he signed in 2023. The 33-year-old Brazilian should therefore not see his tenure in the Windy City come to an end any time soon. In the event of a downturn in performance, however, Moody will loom as a replacement option for at least the time being.

NFL Minor Transactions: 9/12/25

September 12th, 2025 at 7:02pm CST by Ely Allen

Here is today’s only minor transaction:

Kansas City Chiefs

A 2023 fifth-round pick, the Stephen F. Austin product has only appeared in one game, the final contest of his rookie season. During a team meeting last summer, Thompson suffered a seizure that resulted in cardiac arrest for more than 90 seconds. He regained consciousness a few days later. Ever since, the Chiefs have played it very safe when it comes to his playing future. He spent the summer on the active/non-football injury list and was not activated in time for the final roster cut deadline.

Minnesota Vikings

New England Patriots

  • Released: G Mehki Butler

Philadelphia Eagles

  • Signed: DT Gabe Hall
  • Released: DT Jacob Sykes

Seattle Seahawks

Funderburk and Takitaki earned practice squad spots in Minnesota after a successful tryout. Other players who worked out for the Vikings on Thursday include cornerbacks Shemar Bartholomew and Brandon Crossley and linebackers Jamin Davis and Ty Summers, according to KRPC2’s Aaron Wilson.

The Seahawks released White from their 53-man roster on Thursday to make room for Shaquill Griffin, who was promoted from the practice squad. White, a vested veteran, did not need to pass through waivers and immediately re-signed to the Vikings’ practice squad.

Minor NFL Transactions: 9/11/25

Here are Thursday’s minor moves from around the league:

Green Bay Packers

  • Elevated from practice squad: OT Brant Banks, CB Micah Robinson
  • Placed on injured reserve: DL Brenton Cox

Minnesota Vikings

New York Giants

Seattle Seahawks

Washington Commanders

Gipson was waived by the Jets after a costly fumble in Week 1, but will not need to switch states (or even home stadiums) when joining the Giants. The 24-year-old will serve as a depth receiver for his new team and could also contribute as a returner.

The NFL also issued a three-game suspension for free agency safety Qwuantrezz Knight, per KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. Knight appeared in six games for the Cardinals in 2023.

Vikings Place LB Blake Cashman, RB Ty Chandler On IR

September 11th, 2025 at 2:14pm CST by Adam La Rose

Blake Cashman‘s Week 1 hamstring injury made him a candidate for injured reserve. A month-long absence (if not longer) is indeed now in store for the veteran linebacker.

Cashman was placed on IR Thursday, per a team announcement. As a result, he is now set to miss at least the next four games. Minnesota also placed running back and kick returner Ty Chandler on injured reserve.

Cashman split his first five seasons between the Jets and Texans, becoming a full-time starter in 2023. The Eden Prairie native then signed with his hometown team last offseason and again operated as a first-team regular, setting new career highs in several categories along the way. Cashman handled 43 defensive snaps before getting injured on Monday.

The Minnesota product is in line to remain a key figure at the second level of Brian Flores’ defense when healthy. That will not be the case until at least Week 7, however, given the timing of the Vikings’ bye. In the meantime, the team will move forward with veteran Eric Wilson as a fill-in starter. Cashman is on the books through 2026, although none of his salary for that year is guaranteed.

A quick return to action will therefore be key in that situation, and the same is also true of Chandler. The former fifth-rounder has seen sparse usage on offense over the course of his Vikings tenure, but he has been an important special teams contributor. That includes his work in the return game; on Monday, Chandler ran back three kickoffs for a total of 84 yards. The 27-year-old is a pending free agent.

The Vikings’ fourth-quarter comeback in Week 1 led to a win. They will aim to improve to 2-0 against the Falcons on Sunday night, but Cashman and Chandler’s absence will be felt.

Commanders Rework LT Laremy Tunsil’s Deal

September 11th, 2025 at 12:44pm CST by Adam La Rose

Laremy Tunsil‘s contract has been reworked early in the campaign. The Commanders restructured their new left tackle’s contract on Thursday, per Spotrac.

$18MM of compensation which was scheduled to be paid out as a base salary has been converted into a signing bonus. As a result, the Commanders have created $14.4MM in cap space for the 2025 season. Three void years were added to Tunsil’s pact, which is set to expire after the 2026 campaign.

None of the five-time Pro Bowler’s base pay for that year ($21.35MM) is guaranteed, even after today’s restructure. Tunsil’s level of play on his third career team over the coming months will thus be critical in determining his future. Washington acquired the 31-year-old via trade this offseason in an effort to bring about improvements up front during quarterback Jayden Daniels‘ second season.

Tunsil has started each of his 126 appearances in the NFL, and that will continue tonight against the Packers. The former Dolphin and Texan is expected to deliver high-end play on the blindside for 2025, and doing so would allow for 2024 left tackle Brandon Coleman to sustain his new spot at left guard. The Commanders’ top pick in this year’s draft – Josh Conerly Jr. – is currently handling right tackle duties but the Oregon product is seen as an option for the LT gig in the future.

Moving on from Tunsil next offseason would pave the way for Conerly to take on the left tackle role for 2026 and beyond. Such a decision has not been made any more difficult since today’s move did not add any new (real) years to Tunsil’s pact or include any future guarantees. Meanwhile, the Commanders entered Thursday fourth in the NFL in cap space, and they will move up to second with roughly $45.2MM in available funds once this Tunsil restructure is taken into account.

NFL Minor Transactions: 9/10/25

September 10th, 2025 at 7:54pm CST by Ely Allen

Here are today’s mid-week minor NFL transactions:

Arizona Cardinals

New Orleans Saints

New York Jets

Pittsburgh Steelers

Blount will reportedly be on injured reserve for the remainder of the season after Sunday’s neck injury. After colliding with a ball carrier at the same time as rookie linebacker Cody Simon, who suffered a concussion, Blount was seen in a neck brace after the game.

After Jets head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters that “players who made costly mistakes would not stay on the field,” per Brian Costello of the New York Post, Gipson has been waived from the team. In a close loss to the Steelers, Gipson coughed up a costly fumble. Williams will come up from Cincinnati, and his experience as a return man may hint at how New York might address the loss of Gipson.

The Steelers see two key backups hit injured reserve as they make room for Jabrill Peppers and Pierre. Harrison followed Patrick Queen this offseason as the second linebacker to make the move from rival Baltimore in as many seasons, but he didn’t have an established role on the Steelers defense yet. Thompson joins rookie sixth-round pick Will Howard on IR. Practice squad passer Logan Woodside now stands as QB3 behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph.
