Adam Thielen: What happened to| Injury twitter| when will return| Where is today
What happened to:
Adam Thielen was injured less than three minutes into the game, as he got his left ankle rolled up on during his first catch.
Thielen was listed as questionable to return and remained on the sideline, but didn’t see the field again in the first half and was later downgraded to OUT. He won’t return.
Injury twitter:
Tight end Tyler Conklin could also see more targets. He almost caught a touchdown earlier in the game but was barely out of bounds.
Minnesota’s top running back Dalvin Cook is already out for Week 13 because of a shoulder injury, so the Vikings will be very short on offensive weapons as they look to earn a come-from-behind victory against the winless Lions.
When will return:
With Thielen now questionable to return to Sunday’s game, K.J. Osborn now becomes the Vikings No. 2 wide receiver, opposite of Justin Jefferson. Osborn has had some moments this season, recording 31 receptions (47 targets) for 365 yards and two touchdowns.
We should also expect to see veteran wide receiver Dede Westbrook also get sometime today against the Lions. Westbrook has one reception (one target) for negative two yards.
Where is today:
Thielen came out of the medical tent with his left ankle tapped up and was running routes on the sideline to test it, per Chad Graff. The veteran wide receiver is questionable to return with ankle injury, per Stephania Bell.
