Adam Thielen Not Practicing Wednesday
5 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) is not practicing on Wednesday. Thielen isn't dealing with a long-term injury -- he could return as soon as Week 11 -- but he's not expected to play on Sunday night against the Cowboys after tweaking his hammy early in the Week 9 loss to the Chiefs. With a bye coming in Week 12, it's entirely possible the Vikes play it safe and hold Thielen out in Week 11 against the Broncos, too. Stefon Diggs will have WR1 upside as long as Thielen is out, while Olabisi Johnson and Laquon Treadwell will see increased roles in three-wide sets. Tight ends Kyle Rudolph and rookie Irv Smith Jr. will also be more involved in the passing game against Dallas.
