INJURIES

Andrew DePaola - 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. He'll be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, meaning the earliest he could return is Week 14 against the Falcons on Sunday, Dec. 18. The Vikings signed Jake McQuaide to serve as the long snapper in DePaola's absence.

Will Reichard - Move to IR official The Vikings placed Reichard (quadricep) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Impact Reichard will be sidelined for at least the next four games after straining his right quad in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts. The rookie out of Alabama missed his first two kicks of the season in the game, having otherwise knocked down all 14 of his other field-goal attempts and all 23 extra-point tries through his first eight NFL games. The Vikings signed John Parker Romo to the roster to replace Reichard as their kicker beginning with Sunday's game at Jacksonville.

John Parker Romo - Filling in for injured Reichard The Vikings will sign Romo on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact A third-year pro out of Virginia Tech, Romo will get the chance to make his NFL regular-season debut beginning with this Sunday's game against the Jaguars as a replacement at kicker for Will Reichard (quadricep), who is headed for injured reserve. Romo had previously been with the Vikings during their offseason program, but he was cut in late July once Minnesota had firmly committed to Reichard as its kicker. Though he has yet to appear at the NFL level, Romo has kicked professionally in the XFL for the San Antonio Brahmas back in 2023, when he converted 17 of 19 field-goal attempts, including a long of 57 yards.

Will Reichard - Bound for IR The Vikings are expected to place Reichard (quadricep) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Reichard has been diagnosed with a strained right quad, an injury that may have played a part in his two missed field-goal attempts in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts. The rookie out of Alabama had otherwise been perfect through the first nine weeks of the season, connecting on each of his other 14 field-goal tries and going 23-for-23 on extra-point attempts. Minnesota will sign John Parker Romo and turn to him as their kicker beginning with Sunday's game in Jacksonville. Reichard will have to miss at least four games once he's formally placed on IR.

Browns trade DE Za'Darius Smith to Lions needing help with pass rush after Aidan Hutchinson's injury

With their season in shambles, the Browns began looking toward the future and traded defensive end Za'Darius Smith to Detroit for a pair of draft picks

Cam Akers - Moves into backup RB role Akers had six carries for 46 yards and two receptions for seven yards in Sunday's win over the Colts.
Impact Akers played on 16 of the offense's 73 snaps as he essentially got two series in place of starter Aaron Jones (who had 21 carries for 64 yards and four receptions for 18 yards). Ty Chandler didn't play any snaps on offense as it looks like Akers has overtaken him to be the primary backup running back. It looks like Akers will be the running back who gets some work each game to try to keep Jones fresh.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Ty Chandler - No snaps on offense Chandler did not have a carry in Sunday's win over the Colts. He did not play any snaps on offense and played seven snaps on special teams.
Impact Meanwhile Cam Akers had six carries for 46 yards and two receptions for seven yards while playing 16 snaps on offense. It's surprising that Chandler has fallen to third string given how he was used early in the season and without any indications that he was hurt or negative comments from the coaching staff. However, it looks like Chandler will have a minimal role on offense based on Sunday's game with Akers as the backup to Aaron Jones.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Byron Murphy Jr. - Intercepts pass in win Murphy recorded four solo tackles, an interception and a pass breakup in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.
Impact The cornerback also played on all 49 defensive snaps. Murphy has 39 tackles (33 solo), seven passes defensed, three interceptions and a forced fumble in 2024.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Greenard - Logs two more sacks in win Greenard recorded 2.0 sacks and a pass defensed in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.
Impact The defensive end now has 23 tackles (17 solo), including 7.0 sacks, on the year. Greenard has also played on more than 60 percent of the defensive snaps in all eight of Minnesota's games this season.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Ivan Pace Jr. - Makes six tackles in win Pace finished with six tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.
Impact The inside linebacker also played on 96 percent of the defensive snaps. Pace, an undrafted free agent signing in 2023, recorded 102 tackles (63 solo) as a rookie, and he is keeping up a similar pace in 2024 with 50 stops (28 solo) in the six games he's played in.

Andrew DePaola - Likely sidelined with hand issue Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that DePaola sustained a hand injury in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts and could be placed on injured reserve, Alec Lewis of The...
Impact The Vikings will likely add a new long-snapper in the coming days, as DePaola's hand injury is expected to sideline him for the immediate future. Losing DePaola could be a significant blow to Minnesota's special-teams unit, as he had appeared in 59 straight regular-season games and made an All-Pro team each of the last two seasons.

Christian Darrisaw - Undergoes surgery Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters that Darrisaw underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee Monday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Impact Darrisaw will now be able to begin the recovery process after tearing his left ACL and MCL in the Vikings' Week 9 loss to the Rams. While Darrisaw remains sidelined for the remainder of the season, David Quessenberry is expected to continue serving as Minnesota's top left tackle.
