Vikings Sign K John Parker Romo, Place K Will Reichard On IR

In other news, the Vikings have placed K Will Reichard on injured reserve, leading to Romo’s signing.

Romo has also played for the Bears, Lions, and Saints but is yet to make his regular-season debut.

Romo, 27, wound up signing with the Saints after going undrafted in the 2022 NFL draft. 

The Saints waived Romo last August before re-signing him a few days later. Unfortunately, Romo only lasted a few days in New Orleans before the team released him again.

He went on to sign with the Lions in the 2023 off-season but was waived before the season started. Romo signed to the Bears practice squad before being released in October.

Over the course of his four-year college career, Romo appeared in 24 total games. He converted 51 of his 52 XPA’s (98.1%) and 20 of his 27 FGA’s (74.1%). Romo also filled in as the team’s punter during his sophomore year at Virginia Tech, with eight attempts for 354 yards.
