A healthy Adam Thielen would be huge for Vikings offense

Last week, Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins said in his podcast that he expects Adam Thielen to be healthy for the team’s Week 13 matchup against the Seahawks on Monday Night Football.

Thielen injured his hamstring in Week 7 and has missed three games with the injury. The team had Week 12 off, so that has given Thielen nearly a month off between game action.

The hope is that Thielen will be 100 percent, but Vikings fans know all about hamstring injuries. Running back Dalvin Cook was in and out of the lineup last season after tweaking his hamstring early in the season.

With the Vikings traveling to play the 9-2 Seahawks in Week 13, Minnesota will need all the help it can get.

Thielen has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last two seasons.

In eight games this season, Thielen has 27 catches for 391 yards and six touchdowns.

Before this season, Thielen had never missed a game in his five-year career.
