Reichard has started the season 8-for-8 on both his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries through the first four games of the regular season. The Vikings will stay across the pond for Week 5, where they'll take on the Browns on Sunday, Oct. 5 in London, England.

Reichard's 59-yard field goal at the end of the first half matched a Soldier Field record and but the Vikings' deficit to four points. The 2024 sixth-rounder had a perfect start through Week 8 of his rookie season before suffering a quad injury in Week 9, which impacted his accuracy down the stretch as he went 10-for-14 on field-goal attempts over the final five weeks of the regular season. Reichard's fantasy impact will largely depend on the effectiveness of the Vikings' offense led by J.J. McCarthy.

Reichard finished the 2024 season making 24 of 30 field-goal attempts and all 38 of his extra-point tries across 13 games with Minnesota.

A sixth-round pick out of Alabama in the 2024 NFL Draft, Reichard was a perfect 14 of 14 on field-goal tries and 23 for 23 on extra-point attempts through Week 8, but he suffered a quad injury during a Week 9 win over the Colts in which he missed both of his field-goal tries. Reichard missed the next four contests on injured reserve but wasn't the same after returning in Week 14. Reichard went 10 of 14 on field-goal attempts over the final five weeks. However, he did make his lone kick in the wild-card playoff loss to the Rams. Reichard figures to be in the mix as a top fantasy kicker next season, kicking for a team that will likely again put up plenty of points with coach Kevin O'Connell orchestrating the offense.

Reichard made three of his four field-goal attempts during Sunday's 31-9 loss at Detroit.

Reichard was nearly perfect in the Vikings' loss in Week 18, but he missed a 51-yard try wide to the right near the end of the third quarter. It was a fitting end to the regular season for Reichard, who produced serviceably if not spectacularly in his rookie year. He finished the 2024 regular season having made 24 of his 30 field-goal attempts (80.0 percent) and having converted all 38 of his extra-point tries.

Reichard made all three of his extra-point tries but went 2-for-4 on field-goal attempts during the Vikings' 27-25 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Reichard missed his first kicking attempt midway through the first quarter, when his 57-yard field-goal try (one yard shy of his career long) clanged off the crossbar. The rookie sixth-round pick got back on track with two successful field-goal tries in the second quarter -- including a 50-yard field goal at the end of the first half -- but his 43-yard field-goal attempt early in the fourth quarter bounced off the left upright and prevented the Vikings from going up by 20 points. It was the second time this season that Reichard missed two field-goal attempts in a game, with the first instance taking place against the Colts in Week 9 (and he was placed on injured reserve the following week due to a strained right quadriceps). The Vikings will need Reichard to be on target in their pivotal regular-season finale against the Lions on Sunday in a game that will determine the No. 1 seed in the NFC heading into the postseason.

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.

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 Vikings, 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.

The Vikings placed Reichard (quadricep) on injured reserve Tuesday.

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.

The Vikings are expected to place Reichard (quadricep) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

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.

Reichard (quadriceps) will undergo an MRI on Monday, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Reichard missed a pair of field-goal attempts in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts, straining his right quadriceps at some point in the first half. The kicker was already dealing with soreness heading into the game and Monday's MRI will provide more clarity on his status moving forward.

Reichard made both of his field-goal attempts and both PAT tries in Thursday's 30-20 loss to the Rams.

Reichard's perfect start to his NFL career continues. The rookie sixth-round draft pick out of Alabama has hit all 14 of his field-goal attempts to go with 20 makes in as many PATs kicked. Reichard has hit from as far as 58 yards, but he wasn't challenged Thursday, as his longest kick was still in chip-shot range at 35 yards.

Reichard made both extra-point tries and all three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Lions.

Reichard remained flawless in Week 7, making field goals from 57, 42 and 48 yards out in the process. The rookie kicker is now 12-for-12 on FGAs and 18-for-18 on PATs this season, including an impressive 4-for-4 on kicks of 50-plus yards. Reichard and the Vikings will travel to Los Angeles next for a Thursday tilt with the Rams.

Reichard made both of his extra-point tries and all three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jets.

Reichard opened the scoring with a 54-yard field goal on the Vikings' open possession. He then received two more FGA opportunities in the fourth quarter to close out the scoring, making from 53 and then from 41 yards out. The rookie kicker is now 9-for-9 on the season when attempting field goals, including 3-for-3 from 50-plus yards.

Reichard made his lone field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Packers.

The 2024 sixth-round pick remains perfect through the first four games of his NFL career, going 6-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-14 on point-after tries. Expect Reichard to continue producing at a high level as the Vikings host the Jets in Week 5.

Reichard both all four extra-point tries and both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans.

Reichard has yet to miss during his rookie campaign and added 35 and 58-yard field makes to his resume in Week 3. The rookie is now 5-for-5 on FGAs and 10-for-10 on PATs this season. He and the Vikings will head to Green Bay for Week 4.

Reichard made all four extra-point attempts in Sunday's 28-6 win over the Giants.

Reichard made his NFL debut Week 1 after being selected in the sixth round of the 2024 Draft and winning the team's kicking competition in training camp. The Alabama product never received an opportunity to kick a field goal, but at least remains perfect thus far in his rookie campaign.

Reichard's competitor for the Vikings' top kicker spot, John Parker Romo, was waived by the team Monday, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

It appears that Reichard has won the job for Minnesota's kicking duties in 2024, which is no surprise considering the Alabama product was the first kicker selected in this year's NFL Draft. Reichard now stands alone as the only kicker on the Vikings' roster.
