Reichard made both of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts during the Vikings' 27-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday. Reichard connected on field goals from 52 and 48 yards out in the second and third quarter, respectively. Over his last three games since returning from a right quadriceps strain, Reichard has gone 5-for-6 on field-goal attempts and has converted all 12 of his extra-point tries. The Vikings will need Reichard's accuracy in their Week 17 NFC North clash against the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 29.
Reichard made all three of his field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Monday's 30-12 win versus the Bears. Reichard seemed to find a rhythm after hitting a 52-yarder on Minnesota's first drive of the game, bouncing back in a big way after struggling during his prior two appearances. He'll be looking to keep up the positive momentum in Week 16 when the Vikings travel to take on Seattle.
Reichard made all six extra-point tries but missed his lone field-goal attempt in a 42-21 win over the Falcons on Sunday. Reichard missed his third field goal of the season when a 47-yard attempt on the Vikings' opening drive of the second half hit the left upright. However, the rookie kicker did remain perfect on PATs, going 6-for-6, and has now made all 29 attempts this season.
Reichard (quadricep) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Though Reichard carried a questionable tag into Sunday, the Vikings removed most of the mystery about his status by activating him from injured reserve Saturday and waiving John Parker Romo, who had handled kicking duties for each of the last four games. After he was a full participant in practice throughout the week, Reichard looks to have proven his health and will now resume what had been a banner rookie campaign before he landed on IR on Nov. 5. Through his eight appearances on the season, the sixth-round pick out of Alabama converted 14 of 16 field-goal attempts and 23 of 23 extra-point attempts.
The Vikings activated Reichard (quadriceps) from injured reserve Saturday. Reichard was placed on IR in early November after straining his right quad during the Vikings' Week 9 win over the Colts. He's still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but Reichard is set to reclaim his starting kicking duties from John Parker Romo, who was waived Saturday in a corresponding move. Prior to his injury, Reichard went 14-for-16 on field-goal attempts and made all 23 of his extra-point tries across eight regular-season games.
Reichard (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta. Reichard has been sidelined for the Vikings' last four games due to a quadriceps injury. He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and while he's been given the questionable tag for Sunday's game, he's trending towards playing after logging full practices this week.
Reichard (quadriceps) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Reichard was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday after missing the Vikings' last four games due to a right quadriceps strain. He's opened the week with consecutive full practices, and it appears he is on track to be activated off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons. In the eight games prior to his injury, Reichard went 14-for-16 on field-goal attempts and converted on all 23 of his extra-point tries.
Reichard (quadricep) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Reichard returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since being placed on injured reserve with a quadricep issue before Minnesota's Week 10 win over the Jaguars. He's missed the Vikings' last four games, but Wednesday's full session suggests he could be available as soon as the Week 14 matchup against the Falcons, if he's activated to the active roster in time. However, if Reichard remains out Sunday, John Parker Romo will likely continue to serve as Minnesota's kicker.
The Vikings designated Reichard (quadricep) to return to practice Tuesday. The transaction opens up a 21-day window during which the Vikings can evaluate Reichard before he would need to be activated from injured reserve or shut down for the remainder of the season. Reichard has missed the minimum four games while on IR, so if the Vikings are comfortable with where he stands in his recovery from a right quad strain after checking him out in practice this week, he could be added back to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons. John Parker Romo has filled in as the Vikings' kicker for the past four games, converting 11 of 12 field-goal attempts and seven of eight point-after attempts.
