Vikings WR Adam Thielen Ruled out vs. Broncos Because of Hamstring Injury

Minnesota Vikings announced Friday that wide receiver Adam Thielen will not play Sunday against the Denver Broncos due to a hamstring injury, according to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Thielen, 29, has been dealing with a hamstring injury ever since diving for a 25-yard touchdown catch against the Detroit Lions in Week 7.

He left the field, did not return and was sidelined for Minnesota's Week 8 Thursday Night Football win over the Washington Redskins.

Thielen returned for Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs but exited after suffering a hamstring aggravation following just seven offensive snaps.
