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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Gets clearance to practice
Minnesota designated DePaola (hand) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
DePaola has missed the Vikings' last four games due to a hand issue he picked up in Week 9 versus the Colts, but it now looks like he's on track to return soon. His name will be one to watch for when Minnesota releases its first official practice report of the week Wednesday.

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

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 Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 15, 2023
Staying in Minnesota
DePaola is set to re-sign with the Vikings on a three-year, $4 million deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
DePaola's deal includes a $2.27 million guarantee, which is the largest that a long snapper has been given in the league. The 35-year-old is as reliable as the come for his position.
