Fortunately, injuries haven’t forced the Minnesota Vikings to tweak their roster this week. Knock on wood. Here’s hoping that continues through the season and playoffs. Losing a kicker AND long snapper in one game was unusual and ridiculous. How often does a kicker get placed on injured reserve? Across the NFL, it’s happened twice in the last week. Unfortunately, one of those is the Vikings. Get well soon, Will Reichard. The Vikings also lost their long snapper for a few weeks. Andrew DePaola injured his hand against the Indianapolis Colts. That injury required a surgical procedure. As a result, he was placed on injured reserve. Currently, the Vikings have no long snapper on the active roster. Veteran Jake McQuaide was signed to the practice squad. As long as DePaola is out, McQuaide will apparently live a gameday yo-yo existence between the practice squad and active roster. Other than a rather unusual special teams situation, this week’s roster looks just like last week’s. That’s a good thing. Hopefully, the only roster changes moving forward are injured players being activated. In advance of their Week 11 game against the Tennessee Titans, here’s the Minnesota Vikings 53-man roster.
