Report: Vikings WR Adam Thielen, Questionable with Ankle Injury, Should Play vs. 49ers

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen "should play" in Saturday's NFC Divisional Round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers despite suffering an ankle injury at practice on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The two-time Pro Bowler had to receive stitches on his ankle after clipping the cleats of a teammate. Thielen is still listed as questionable.

Earlier this season, Thielen missed six games with a lingering hamstring injury. The seventh-year wideout had never missed a game in his career up until that point.

Thielen is a vital facet of Minnesota's offense.
