After being limited all week in practice with a hamstring injury, Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen is officially listed as questionable for Monday night’s game against the Seahawks.

Thielen injured in the hamstring in Week 7 against the Lions and re-injured it in Week 9 against the Chiefs.

The team cut Josh Doctson earlier in the week, so the prospects look good for Thielen to play, but he did say that he would not play if he was not 100 percent, which is the right play.

If Thielen can’t play, we’ll continue to see more of rookie Bisi Johnson.

To round out Minnesota’s injury report, linebacker Ben Gedeon (concussion) is out.

Nose tackle Linval Joseph (knee), safety Harrison Smith (hamstring), safety Anthony Harris (groin) and defensive tackle Shamar Stephen (knee) are all questionable.

We’ll get the official status of these players at 5:50 p.m. CT on Monday. Stay tuned.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen returns to practice

Thielen looks on track to play on Monday Night Football against the Seahawks in Week 13.

Good news for Vikings fans.

After being in and out of the lineup with a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 7, Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen was back at practice on Tuesday, per Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press.

Guard Josh Kline (concussion) was also back at practice.

Those not practicing included nose tackle Linval Joseph, defensive tackle Shamar Stephen, linebacker Ben Gedeon, safety Anthony Harris, defensive end Everson Griffen and safety Harrison Smith.

We know that Joseph is still recovering from a knee surgery, Gedeon is dealing with a concussion and Harris missed Week 11 with a groin injury.

We still have six days until the Vikings kick off against the Seahawks, so probably nothing to look too much into quite yet.

Thielen among 4 starters out for Vikings vs. Broncos

This gives some players an extra week off before a Week 12 bye week.

The Vikings will be without four starters for Sunday afternoon’s tilt against the Broncos at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring), guard Josh Kline (concussion), defensive tackle Linval Joseph (knee) and safety Anthony Harris (groin) will all be held out.

It’s worth noting the Vikings have a Week 12 bye week.

For Thielen, he’s dealing with an injury that has hindered him since Week 7. We’ll likely see more of what we’ve seen of lately from the wide receiver unit, led by Stefon Diggs with appearances from Laquon Treadwell and Bisi Johnson.

We’ll see Dakota Dozier fill in for Kline and start his fourth game of the season.

Jaleel Johnson will likely start his second-straight game for Joseph.

And we could see Andrew Sendejo, who signed back with the Vikings, start for Harris.

Sendejo, meanwhile, is questionable with a groin injury. He’s been limited in two practices this week.

We’ll get his official availability 90 minutes before kickoff on Sunday.

Vikings S Anthony Harris (groin) misses Thursday’s practice

After being limited in Wednesday’s practice with a groin injury, Vikings safety Anthony Harris was held out of Thursday’s practice.

After being limited in Wednesday’s practice with a groin injury, Vikings safety Anthony Harris was held out of Thursday’s practice.

Generally not the direction you want to see things go for injuries.

Harris’ absence would be a big blow to the defense in Week 11 against the Broncos, but the team did sign Andrew Sendejo last week, a player who is familiar with the team’s system.

With a grade of 82.3, Harris ranks as the fifth highest-graded safety in the NFL per Pro Football Focus.

Also out for the Vikings was wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring), nose tackle Linval Joseph (knee) and guard Josh Kline (concussion).

Sendejo (groin) was limited.

Defensive tackle Shamar Stephen (knee) was a full participant after missing Wednesday’s practice, likely as a rest day.

Also practicing in full was cornerback Trae Waynes (ankle), fullback C.J. Ham (ankle), cornerback Xavier Rhodes (elbow), defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo (shoulder), linebacker Eric Kendricks (hip) and defensive tackle Armon Watts (elbow).

We’ll get official injury designations for these players on Friday.
