Coming out of Sunday night’s win over the Colts, both Will Reichard and Andrew DePaola are dealing with injuries, head coach Kevin O’Connell confirmed on Monday. It’s a quad issue for Reichard, who was perfect in the NFL until he missed two field goals in the second quarter against Indianapolis. DePaola has a hand injury that will require surgery.
O’Connell didn’t have a concrete update on Reichard, but it sounds like there’s a real chance he won’t be able to play next Sunday against the Jaguars.

They’ll continue to evaluate whether he has a chance to play against the Jaguars or if he’ll miss at least a game. The hope is that Reichard won’t need a trip to injured reserve, which would mean missing a minimum
