3 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. This was Thielen's first time practicing since he suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 13, which gives him a chance to return this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. The 31-year-old was a game-time decision on Monday night despite not practicing at all last week. Thielen is certainly making progress, but it doesn't guarantee that he'll play or even be effective if he's active this weekend. Second-year wideout Justin Jefferson will be an elite WR1 regardless of whether Thielen returns, but K.J. Osborn, who has been serving as the No. 2 in Thielen's absence, would lose most of his flex appeal if Thielen were to return in Week 16.
