Adam Thielen’s isolation lasted 10 days, as the Vikings receiver was cleared to return Wednesday from the team’s COVID list following a positive test result Nov. 23.
Thielen is expected to practice Wednesday afternoon and play Sunday against the Jaguars, according to coach Mike Zimmer. His 11 touchdown grabs led the NFL entering last weekend, when Thielen missed his first game of the season in the 28-27 win vs. Carolina.
NFL players with asymptomatic cases can return after five days with two negative tests, or after 10 days from the initial positive test. Symptomatic cases require a minimum 10-day quarantine.
