The kicker who helped keep the Minnesota Vikings afloat for four weeks this season while starter Will Reichard nursed an injury is going through what many of us experience in everyday life: a highly-anticipated package sent to him has gone missing.
On Monday, Romo posted on X that FedEx had “lost a package” the Vikings sent to his house. A picture he posted with package tracking information appears to show a shipment departing a FedEx location in St. Paul last month. In it contains all his gear from the Vikings, including his helmet, jersey and a game ball. “The stuff is invaluable to me and I would appreciate the extra efforts to finding this box,” he wrote.
A FedEx representative wasn’t immediately available for comment Monday night.
Romo’s time with the Vikings was brief but successful. He hit 11 of 12 field goals and seven of eight extra points in four games before Reichard returned to the field and Romo was waived. He scored all 12 of the Vikings’ points in a close win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, his NFL debut.
He has since landed on the New England Patriots’ practice squad.
