Falcons kicker Koo suffered leg strain before the game

Falcons kicker Youngway Koo, who missed a field goal and an extra point in the 30-26 loss to the Bears Sunday, suffered a leg strain before the game.

With Koo hurt, the Falcons had punter Sterling Hofrichter handle the kickoffs. Koo had kicked off in both the Seattle and Dallas games.

Koo missed a 40-yard field goal wide left that would have put the Falcons up 29-10 early in the fourth quarter. He missed the first extra point wide left in the first quarter.
