Vikings' Will Reichard: Cleared to kick Sunday
Rotowire
Reichard (quadricep) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Though Reichard carried a questionable tag into Sunday, the Vikings removed most of the mystery about his status by activating him from injured reserve Saturday and waiving John Parker Romo, who had handled kicking duties for each of the last four games. After he was a full participant in practice throughout the week, Reichard looks to have proven his health and will now resume what had been a banner rookie campaign before he landed on IR on Nov. 5. Through his eight appearances on the season, the sixth-round pick out of Alabama converted 14 of 16 field-goal attempts and 23 of 23 extra-point attempts.

Vikings' Will Reichard: Activated off IR
Rotowire
The Vikings activated Reichard (quadriceps) from injured reserve Saturday.
Reichard was placed on IR in early November after straining his right quad during the Vikings' Week 9 win over the Colts. He's still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but Reichard is set to reclaim his starting kicking duties from John Parker Romo, who was waived Saturday in a corresponding move. Prior to his injury, Reichard went 14-for-16 on field-goal attempts and made all 23 of his extra-point tries across eight regular-season games.

Vikings' Will Reichard: Practices in full
Rotowire
Reichard (quadricep) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Reichard returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since being placed on injured reserve with a quadricep issue before Minnesota's Week 10 win over the Jaguars. He's missed the Vikings' last four games, but Wednesday's full session suggests he could be available as soon as the Week 14 matchup against the Falcons, if he's activated to the active roster in time. However, if Reichard remains out Sunday, John Parker Romo will likely continue to serve as Minnesota's kicker.

Vikings' Will Reichard: Making return to practice
Rotowire
The Vikings designated Reichard (quadricep) to return to practice Tuesday.
The transaction opens up the 21-day practice window for Reichard. The kicker has already missed the minimum four games while on IR, so if the Vikings are comfortable with his recovery from a right quad strain, he could be added back to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons. John Parker Romo has filled in as the Vikings' kicker for the past four games, converting 11 of 12 field-goal attempts and seven of eight point-after attempts.
