Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. He reportedly had a chance to play vs. the Bears on Monday night, so we're tentatively expecting Thielen back for this weekend's game vs. the Rams.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen is inactive for tonight's game against the Bears. He was reportedly hoping to play, but the veteran didn't practice at all this week. We'll see about his chances for the Week 16 game against the Rams.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Bears. He didn't practice all week, though, so we'd be surprised if he played. Thielen should still be on fantasy benches right now. We'll let you know if we hear that he has a real chance to play on Monday.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) missed practice again on Friday. He looks like a long shot to play vs. the Bears on Monday night, but we’ll get another update on his status on Saturday afternoon.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. Recovering from a high-ankle sprain, he's unlikely to play vs. the Bears on Monday night. That'll keep K.J. Osborn in the WR3 mix.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) is out for Thursday night's game against the Steelers. No surprise there. Reportedly dealing with a high-ankle sprain, Thielen figures to miss multiple games. K.J. Osborn will step in as Minnesota's #2 WR vs. Pittsburgh and is in the WR3 mix for Week 14.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Lions, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That usually means multiple missed games. Thielen will have further testing Monday to determine his return timeline. With Thielen out for most of the game, WR Justin Jefferson racked up 14 targets, TE Tyler Conklin 9 and WR K.J. Osborn 7. Conklin and Osborn will be in fantasy consideration as long as Thielen remains out. Minnesota gets just 3 days off before hosting the Steelers on Thursday night.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen hurt his left ankle in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Lions. He's officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Thielen has been ruled out.

Vikings WRs Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Adam Thielen (foot) aren't listed on the final injury report. Both guys got some time off in practice earlier this week but should be ready to play their usual roles vs. the Panthers on Sunday.

Vikings WRs Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Adam Thielen (foot) missed their 2nd straight practices on Thursday. We haven't heard any concern about their availability for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers, but make sure to check back tomorrow afternoon for another update.

The forecast for today's Vikings-Packers game calls for 25 mph sustained winds with gusts close to 40 mph. The wind is expected to die down a bit throughout the game. Temperatures will be in the 30s with a wind chill in the 20s. Those are tough conditions for the passing and kicking games. We've lowered our passing projections a bit for both teams and would avoid both kickers in this game.

ESPN's Courtney Cronin reports that the Vikings are "leaning heavily" toward resting the "bulk" of their starters in Sunday's game against the Bears. Minnesota is locked into the NFC's #6 seed. Cronin mentions QB Kirk Cousins as 1 starter who isn't expected to play. RB Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is almost certain to be inactive. And we'd bank on WRs Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen getting the day off, too. QB Sean Mannion will get the start for the Vikings, making this an offense to try to avoid in Week 17 fantasy lineups. The Bears DST is a strong play.
