Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen injured his ankle in Wednesday’s practice as the team was preparing to take on the 49ers in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.
Thielen is officially listed as questionable, but on Friday morning, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Thielen ‘should play’ on Saturday.

While, we’ve seen players who have missed games after many thought they ‘should have played,’ it seems extremely unlikely that Thielen would miss a game like this, especially after how good he was last week against the Saints.
We’ll know 90 minutes before the game whether or not Thielen is active or not.
