Overview

• Rookie kicker Will Reichard and long snapper Andrew DePaola have been designated to return from injured reserve, opening their 21-day activation window.
• Reichard, who sustained a quad injury in early November, returned to practice but faces a test of fatigue before being cleared to play against the Falcons.
• DePaola, an All-Pro long snapper recovering from hand surgery, is expected to reclaim his role, as the team released replacement Jake McQuaide.
• Cornerback Stephon Gilmore is questionable for Week 14 after suffering a low-grade hamstring strain, with Fabian Moreau likely stepping in if needed.
• Starting tight end Josh Oliver is anticipated to return after missing two games with an ankle injury, adding depth to the Vikings' offense.
