It is no secret that while the Minnesota Vikings were facing the Houston Texans in a preseason matchup this past weekend, fans were holding their breath when it came to their special teams players.
Vikings kicker Will Reichard and punter Ryan Wright struggled at times last season, but head coach Kevin O'Connell believes in both guys and stuck with them.
Reichard made Minnesota's roster out of training camp last year after the team selected him in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Alabama. The rookie kicker had his share of rust and struggles as a first-time NFL kicker last season.
