After injuring his ankle in Wednesday’s practice, Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen is officially listed as questionable for Saturday’s matchup against the 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round playoff game.
Thielen was huge in Minnesota’s win over the Saints, finishing with seven catches for 129 yards, including the 43-yard catch which set up the team’s game-winning touchdown.
It’s a tough break for the Vikings in a game in which they are already the underdogs.
We’ll give you updates as we can regarding Thielen’s status for the game. You can guess Thielen will do everything he can to get on the field, even if he’s not at 100 percent.
The good news is that fellow wideout Stefon Diggs (illness) is not on the injury report.
Cornerback Mackensie Alexander, who underwent knee surgery, is out. Safety Jayron Kearse (knee/toe) is listed as doubtful.
