Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen was a full participant in the team's practice on Wednesday despite suffering an ankle injury in the Week 15 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Thielen went down with the injury late in the game on Monday night, and it led many to wonder as to the severity of it going forward. But fortunately for the struggling Vikings offense, it looks like the star wide receiver is just fine.
From Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk:
Thielen fully participated in practice on Wednesday despite the ankle injury. Even better news for the team’s top two wideouts is that receiver Stefon Diggs, who has appeared on the injury report in recent weeks with a knee problem, completely exited the Wednesday report.
Having both Thielen and Diggs available is very much needed at this point, as Minnesota looked terrible on offense in the loss in Seattle. But things have been off for a while now, and that led to the firing of former offensive coordinator John DeFilippo on Tuesday.
So, now it's a matter of seeing how things come together for the Vikings during the stretch run
Mike Zimmer's squad sits at 6-6-1 on the year, and even with the recent struggles, still figures to have a good shot at making the playoffs.
The postseason push will continue this weekend when the Vikings host the Miami Dolphins, and a win there would go a long way towards securing a playoff spot with only a few weeks left in the regular season.
