Minnesota Vikings place ‘absolute rock star’ Will Reichard on injured reserve

The Minnesota Vikings placed rookie kicker Will Reichard on injured reserve after he strained his right quadriceps during a game against the Indianapolis Colts. Reichard, who was previously perfect on all 34 kicking attempts this season, felt quad tightness mid-game and later missed two field goals. Reichard will miss at least four games as he recovers, prompting the Vikings to sign John Parker Romo from the XFL, where Romo earned All-XFL honors in 2023. Romo, making his NFL debut, is set to step in as the team’s kicker for now【6†source】【6†source】.
