EAGAN, Minn. — Injuries to All-Pro long snapper Andrew DePaola and rookie kicker Will Reichard had the Minnesota Vikings assessing their options for temporary replacements in an midseason disruption to what has been one of the NFL's most productive kicking operations. DePaola will have minor surgery on his hand and need to be placed on short-term injured reserve. Reichard has a quadriceps injury that has raised the possibility he'll need a sub too. DePaola was a Pro Bowl selection the past two years and also an AP All-Pro pick for 2023. Reichard didn't miss a kick until the team's most recent game.
