Vikings injury report shows promising news for key players

The Minnesota Vikings had some notable names on it injury report in week 14but in a good way. The team had recently designated two key starters to return from injured reserve, and on Wednesday they were full participants in practice.

Long snapper Andrew DePaola and kicker Will Reichard were full participants in Wednesday’s practice. Tight end Josh Oliver, who had missed the last two games, was also a full participant.

Both DePaola and Reichard had been on injured reserve for various injuries and missed significant time. In their absence, the team had signed Jake McQuaide and John Parker Romo as fill-ins. In the case of Josh Oliver, we saw more reps for Nick Muse and Johnny Mundt in the Vikings offense.

Getting these three players back comes at a good time as the team ramps up preparations for their matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. We will follow their progress throughout the week.
