Cleared to play Sunday vs. Falcons DePaola (hand) is active for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Activated off IR The Vikings activated DePaola (hand), who is questionable for Sunday's contest against Atlanta, off injured reserve Saturday.

Impact DePaola went on IR in early November due to a hand injury, and he's since sat out the required four games. The Rutgers product was designated to return to practice Tuesday and was a full participant throughout the week, so it appears he has a good chance of being cleared to suit up against the Falcons. DePaola has served as Minnesota's long snapper when healthy.

Goes on IR with hand injury The Vikings placed DePaola (hand) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact DePaola injured his hand during the Vikings' 21-13 win over the Colts.

The Vikings signed Jake McQuaide to serve as the long snapper in DePaola's absence.
