Will Reichard, the Minnesota Vikings kicker, has regained confidence in his kicking leg after overcoming an injury that sidelined him for four games during his rookie season. This recovery is crucial as the Vikings head into the playoffs, especially given the team's history of playoff kicking struggles.

Reichard's injury history dates back to his time at Alabama, where he felt rushed back from a previous injury. The Vikings' training staff consulted with the Houston Texans to tailor a recovery plan for him. Since returning, he has made 12 of 13 kicks, though he aims to improve his current conversion rate of 85%.
