The Falcons will waive Romo on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. During his seven-game run as Atlanta's kicker, Romo connected on 11 of his 14 field-goal tries, but it was his missed extra-point attempt in this past Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots that ultimately cost him his job. After working out veteran Zane Gonzalez on Tuesday, the Falcons elected to have him replace Romo as their placekicker heading into Sunday's game against the Colts in Berlin. Despite his costly miss in Week 9, Romo still owns a solid 84.6 percent conversion rate on field-goal attempts over his 11 career NFL games between stops with Minnesota and Atlanta, so it wouldn't be surprising if he received another opportunity elsewhere later on this season.

Parker Romo: Breaking News
Untimely miss in loss
Romo made his only field-goal attempt and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots. Romo connected on a 38-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter before he later pushed an extra-point attempt wide right with 4:40 remaining in regulation, leaving the Falcons down by one point 24-23. The kicker has been inconsistent through seven contests with Atlanta this year, missing kicks in three separates games. Romo has now gone 11-for-14 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while making 10 of 11 PATs this season.
Nails both kicks vs. Miami
Romo made his lone field-goal attempt and connected on his only extra-point try during the Falcons' 34-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. Romo put the Falcons on the board with a 45-yard field goal early in the second quarter and added a PAT in the fourth frame, but he was otherwise idle as Atlanta struggled to move the ball down the field with Kirk Cousins under center for the injured Michael Penix (knee). Romo is now 10-for-13 on field-goal attempts and has made all 10 of his extra-point tries through six regular-season games.
