Vikings place Reichard and DePaola in the wounded reserve

The Minnesota Vikings placed kicker Will Reichard and long snapper Andrew DePaola on Injured Reserve on Tuesday.

Reichard is out with a right quad injury and DePaola will require surgery on his right hand.

Reichard, a rookie from Alabama, missed the first two field goals of his career in the Vikings’ win against Indianapolis on Sunday night. He is now 14 of 16 in field goal chances this season.

Sources tell KSTP that the Vikings have agreed to a deal with free agent kicker John Parker Romo, who will take Reichard’s spot on the roster. Romo spent time with the Vikings in the offseason and has introduced the XFL.
