DETROIT -- Wide receiver Adam Thielen was ruled out for the second half of the Minnesota Vikings' Week 7 showdown with NFC North rival Detroit after injuring his right hamstring while hauling in a 25-yard touchdown in the first quarter.
Thielen connected with quarterback Kirk Cousins with 5:23 to play in the quarter, executing a toe-tap touchdown in the back of the end zone and was slow to get up after the play. The receiver had a noticeable limp as he walked off the field, surrounded by Vikings trainers, and was evaluated in the medical tent behind Minnesota's bench for several minutes.
