Goes perfect in debut Romo made all four of his field-goal attempts during the Vikings' 12-7 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Impact Romo had a productive outing in his regular-season debut as he scored all 12 of Minnesota's points. His longest kick was a 45-yard field goal, and he will likely serve as the team's starting kicker for another three games as Will Reichard (quadricep) remains on injured reserve.

Filling in for injured Reichard The Vikings will sign Romo on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact A third-year pro out of Virginia Tech, Romo will get the chance to make his NFL regular-season debut beginning with this Sunday's game against the Jaguars as a replacement at kicker for Will Reichard (quadricep), who is headed for injured reserve. Romo had previously been with the Vikings during their offseason program, but he was cut in late July once Minnesota had firmly committed to Reichard as its kicker. Though he has yet to appear at the NFL level, Romo has kicked professionally in the XFL for the San Antonio Brahmas back in 2023, when he converted 17 of 19 field-goal attempts, including a long of 57 yards.
