John Parker Romo is set to make his NFL debut as the Minnesota Vikings' kicker following an injury to rookie Will Reichard. Romo, who has been with multiple teams but has yet to play in a regular-season game, secured his spot after a successful tryout against four other kickers.

With Reichard and long snapper Andrew DePaola on injured reserve, the Vikings have turned to Romo for their upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coach Kevin O’Connell expressed uncertainty about Reichard's return but emphasized the importance of his recovery.
