Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen was listed as questionable for Saturday’s Divisional Round game against the 49ers after getting stitches to his ankle after Wednesday’s practice.
In no real surprise, Thielen is active for the playoff game. Thielen was huge in last week’s win over the Saints, finishing with seven catches for 129 yards. It was his best game since Week 5 of the season.
With Thielen and Stefon Diggs, the Vikings have one of the best one-two punches at wide receiver in all of football.
Out for the Vikings will be cornerback Mackensie Alexander (knee) and safety Jayron Kearse (toe/knee). Alexander was placed on the IR after undergoing surgery, while Kearse was downgraded from probable to out on Friday.
