Vikings' Adam Thielen Activated From Reserve/COVID-19 List
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Minnesota Vikings standout wide receiver Adam Thielen has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list as the team hunts for a playoff spot.
Thielen missed the team's game against the Carolina Panthers due to being on the list. Vikings won that game with a last-minute touchdown.
The move means Thielen will be playing in the team's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, which will be airing on WCCO.
Thielen's return is significant considering the team is still in the playoff hunt. According to recent projections, the team has a 30% chance of making the playoffs.
