Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has been dealing with a lingering hamstring injury since Week 7, and he’s not sure if he’ll be able to play in Week 13 against the Seahawks on Monday Night Football.
Per Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press, Thielen doesn’t know yet. Of course, the Vikings still have two more days, so a lot could change.

Thielen participated in Friday’s practice, which seems like a good sign.
Having Thielen would be a huge boost for the Vikings, especially in a game with so many playoff implications. But at the same time, we saw Thielen come back too early in Week 9 against the Chiefs, and that led to where we are now.
In eight games this season, Thielen has 27 catches for 391 yards and six touchdowns.
The Vikings released Josh Doctson this week in a move that many thought hinted that Thielen was almost a lock to be back from the injury.
