Vikings' Andrew DePaola: Gets clearance to practice

Minnesota designated DePaola (hand) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Tuesday.

DePaola has missed the Vikings' last four games due to a hand issue he picked up in Week 9 versus the Colts, but it now looks like he's on track to return soon. His name will be one to watch for when Minnesota releases its first official practice report of the week Wednesday.
