The Minnesota Vikings are set to hit the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15. It seems they will finally be at full strength with wide receiver Adam Thielen.
Thielen was able to log in a solid week of practice after dealing with a lingering hamstring injury. According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, all signs are pointing to him making his return in Los Angeles.
Vikings WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) officially off the injury report and set to return Sunday against the Chargers.
This is certainly an encouraging update for Minnesota. Thielen's absence has undoubtedly left a notable void in the offense. Having him back just in time for their playoff push should pay huge dividends for quarterback Kirk Cousins over the next three games.
Thielen has been dealing with the hamstring issue since Week 7. Although he attempted to make his return in Week 9 versus the Kansas City Chiefs, he lasted just nine plays before he was sidelined once again. As a result, he was forced to miss the next four games in order to avoid further aggravating the injury.
It is safe to say that the Viking will continue to take a cautious approach with his health given the setbacks that have occurred this season. They are hoping that the added time off will help Thielen resume his prominent role in the passing game. Fortunately, this game should allow him to find his footing before the team hosts a pivotal NFC North showdown with the Green Bay Packers in Week 16.
