The Atlanta Falcons have placed kicker Younghoe Koo on injured reserve, prompting the signing of Riley Patterson from the Cleveland Browns' practice squad. Koo has been dealing with a right hip injury, but it remains unclear if this is the reason for his season-ending placement.

Coach Raheem Morris noted that Koo sustained some discomfort following a recent game. Patterson, who has a solid track record, previously played for several NFL teams, including the New England Patriots and Detroit Lions.
