ADAM THIELEN NEWS

TDs keep coming Sunday Thielen caught six of nine targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-17 win over the Seahawks.

Impact The veteran receiver has been Kirk Cousins' go-to option in the red zone to begin the season, catching four of the QB's eight touchdown passes through three games, including a 15-yard strike in the second quarter Sunday. Thielen will look to keep his TD streak going in a Week 4 clash with the Browns.

Finds end zone against Cards Thielen caught six of seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-33 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact While he didn't gain much in the way of yardage, Thielen tied Justin Jefferson for the team lead in catches and scored his third TD of the season at the end of the first quarter on a seven-yard toss from Kirk Cousins. The veteran receiver's campaign is off to another strong start, and he'll look to keep rolling in Week 3 at home against the Seahawks.

Scores twice in Week 1 loss Thielen caught nine of 10 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Bengals.

Impact Thielen provided the game's first points with 6:41 left before halftime, shedding cornerback Eli Apple in the front of the end zone for a five-yard score. He scored another touchdown in the third quarter, this time from 24 yards out. Thielen led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards, though fellow wide receivers Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn were each targeted nine times apiece. Minnesota's passing game will likely remain busy in Week 2 as the Vikings try to keep pace with the high-flying Cardinals in Arizona.

Not on injury report Thielen (thigh) isn't listed on Wednesday's initial injury report ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Bengals.

Impact Thielen participated in practice without any reported issue after he left the team's third preseason game due to a thigh bruise. The injury likely was minor, but he missed the team's final exhibition (which he was likely to skip anyway) and this was the first official report of him at practice, so it's good to get confirmation it's nothing to worry about. He looks set to start Sunday against the Bengals.

Won't play Friday Thielen (thigh) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against Kansas City, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact The wideout suffered a thigh bruise early in this past Saturday's preseason game against the Colts, and the Vikings will play it safe with Thielen with an eye toward getting him ready for Week 1. Heading into the 2021 season, Thielen and Justin Jefferson remain firmly on top of Minnesota's wide receiver depth chart.
