Prior to this season, Adam Thielen missing time for the Minnesota Vikings was never really a thought that ever crossed anyone’s mind.
Ever since he made it onto the active roster in 2014, Thielen appeared in every regular season game during his first five years with the Vikings. Unfortunately, his durability took a hit this season when he went down with a hamstring injury Minnesota’s Week 7 win over the Detroit Lions.
Since then, Thielen has only been on the field for seven snaps and he’s had to watch the rest of his teammates fight for victories from the sideline.
