Falcons sign kicker Riley Patterson after Younghoe Koo placed on injured reserve

The Atlanta Falcons have placed kicker Younghoe Koo on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury and signed kicker Riley Patterson from Cleveland’s practice squad
DECEMBER 18, 2024 • Associated Press
Stepping in as new kicker The Falcons will sign Patterson off the Browns' practice squad Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact With Atlanta set to place Younghoe Koo (undisclosed) on injured reserve in a corresponding move, Patterson is poised to serve as the Falcons' kicker for the final three games of the regular season. Patterson has bounced around between five different organizations in 2024, having spent time in training camp with the Jaguars and Commanders before making his season debut in Week 9, when the Jets signed him as a one-week replacement for Greg Zuerlein (knee). Patterson then landed with Atlanta's practice squad before getting cut earlier in December and catching on with the Browns, who elevated him from their practice squad last week to replace the struggling Dustin Hopkins as their kicker in a 21-7 loss to the Chiefs. With the Browns having since reaffirmed their commitment to Hopkins, Patterson will head back to Atlanta and will make his third appearance of the season this Sunday against the Giants.

Returns to practice squad Patterson reverted to Cleveland's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Patterson served as the Browns' kicker Sunday against the Chiefs due to the recent struggles of Dustin Hopkins. Patterson made his lone extra-point try, but the expectation is that Hopkins will kick in Week 16 against the Bengals, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.
DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Makes lone kick in loss Patterson converted his lone extra-point kick and did not have a field-goal attempt in Sunday's 21-7 loss to Kansas City in Week 15.
Impact The Browns made kicker Dustin Hopkins, who had missed six of his last nine FGA, inactive for the week and elevated Patterson from the practice squad. Following Sunday's game, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Hopkins would return as the kicker for Week 16, per Daniel Oyefusi of EPSN.com. The coach thought it was best for Hopkins to get a week off amid his struggles.
DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Slated to kick Sunday Patterson is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Impact Patterson was elevated from the practice squad ahead of the contest, and he'll handle the Browns' kicking duties Sunday, with Dustin Hopkins -- who has missed six of his last nine field-goal attempts -- having been made inactive. In his lone regular-season appearance, while he was with the Jets, Patterson made all three of his extra-point tries with no field-goal attempts in a Week 9 win over the Texans.

Browns sit struggling kicker Dustin Hopkins, Chiefs get K Harrison Butker back after 4-game absence

The Chiefs have their regular kicker back
DECEMBER 15, 2024 • Associated Press
Set to kick for CLE in Week 15 The Browns elevated Patterson on Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against Kansas City, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact Patterson signed with Cleveland's practice squad Tuesday and appears set to take over placekicking duties for the club. As a result, it's likely that Dustin Hopkins -- who has made just 16 of 25 field-goal attempts this season -- will part ways with the Browns. Patterson has one appearance under his belt this year, making all three extra-point tries with no field-goal attempts Week 9 against Houston while he was with the Jets.

Signed to Browns' practice team The Browns signed Patterson to the practice squad on Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Impact The addition of Patterson is a sign that Dustin Hopkins' job could be in jeopardy. Hopkins, who missed two field goals in Sunday's loss to the Steelers, has missed six of his last night FGA and made 16 of 25 this season. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Hopkins will remain the club's kicker for now. Patterson spent time with Cleveland in 2023 when Hopkins sustained a hamstring injury late in the season. He kicked in one game in 2024 for the Jets and had short stints with Jacksonville, Washington and Atlanta.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • Associated Press
Let go by Atlanta Atlanta cut Patterson from the practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Patterson was signed to the Falcons' practice squad Nov. 29 to provide kicking insurance in case Younghoe Koo was unable to suit up against the Chargers this past Sunday. Patterson was elevated to the active roster for that game, but ended up being inactive as Koo was able to overcome a hip injury and play. Patterson will have the chance to sign with another team in need of a placekicker.
