Vikings' Andrew DePaola: Activated off IR
The Vikings activated DePaola (hand), who is questionable for Sunday's contest against Atlanta, off injured reserve Saturday.
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.

Vikings' Andrew DePaola: Likely sidelined with hand issue
Head coach Kevin O'Connell said 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.
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 received an All-Pro nod in each of the last two seasons.
