The Minnesota Vikings could be on the verge of getting a couple of members of their special teams units back in very short order.
On Tuesday, the team announced that they have designated kicker Will Reichard and long snapper Andrew DePaola to return to practice. Both of them have been on injured reserve for the past four weeks with DePaola dealing with a hand injury and Reichard dealing with a quad issue.
