3 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, an injury he picked up during Sunday's unlikely loss to the Lions. The veteran will undergo further testing on Monday to determine the extent of the issue. However, considering the short turnaround heading into Thursday's matchup against Pittsburgh, it's likely Thielen won't be in the lineup. Nonetheless, his absence should allow Justin Jefferson, who had 11 catches for 182 yards and a touchdown versus Detroit, to get an even bigger workload in Week 14. Alexander Mattison and K.J. Osborn could also get some extra looks from Kirk Cousins, although Osborn is a risky option despite the anticipated enhanced role.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
