Vikings' Adam Thielen expected to miss fourth straight game

Adam Thielen has played seven snaps since first injuring his hamstring Oct. 20 in Detroit, and the Vikings receiver still is not expected to play Sunday against the Lions at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Vikings officially deemed Thielen’s status as doubtful against Detroit after he was sidelined throughout three practices this week. It would be his fourth straight missed game; he is in the seventh week of recovering from a hamstring strain twice hit by snags, first in an attempted return Nov. 3 in Kansas City and then during a Nov. 26 practice.

Left tackle Riley Reiff is listed as questionable, the NFL’s designation for a 50/50 chance to play.
