The Minnesota Vikings are facing a significant change in their kicking game as rookie kicker Will Reichard has been placed on injured reserve due to a quad strain. This injury will sideline him for at least four games, marking a setback for a player who had a stellar start to his career.

With Reichard out, the Vikings will turn to John Parker Romo, who has yet to kick in an NFL regular-season game but was the leading scorer in the XFL this past season. Additionally, the team will also replace long snapper Andrew DePaola with Jake McQuaide, adding to the uncertainty as they prepare to face the Jacksonville Jaguars.
