The Atlanta Falcons will have one of their most reliable players available for their big game Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
Younghoe Koo is off the injury report for this weekend's game, which is key for the Falcons special teams unit.
Atlanta announced on Thursday it has signed Matthew Wright to the practice squad as an insurance option in the event Koo couldn't go.
Koo missed practice on Wednesday while he was dealing with a back issue.
Wright, 27, has bounced his way around the NFL over the last several seasons seasons with stops that have included Jacksonville (as a full-time kicker) and Kansas City and San Francisco, where he was mostly a practice squad guy.
Koo, of course, has been almost automatic this year - again 0 - as he has made 21-of-22 field goals and 14-of-15 extra points on PATs.
Wright will remain on the practice squad for this weekend's game, and if Koo's back flares up, then the Falcons will have a solution in place for the future.
