Vikings Injury Updates Ahead of Falcons Game

Vikings kicker Will Reichard and long snapper Andrew DePaola are on track to return to action against the Falcons after practicing fully this week, following their injuries. Head coach Kevin O'Connell expressed optimism about their return, barring any setbacks. Meanwhile, tight end Josh Oliver also practiced fully and is expected to play, which would bolster the Vikings' offense. In contrast, cornerback Stephon Gilmore missed practice due to a hamstring injury, making his participation against Atlanta unlikely, although O'Connell has not ruled him out entirely. The Falcons reported no significant injuries to their starters, although wide receivers Drake London and Darnell Mooney are dealing with minor issues but are expected to play. Overall, the Vikings are looking to strengthen their roster with key players returning while managing the injury situation carefully.
