Vikings WR Adam Thielen Expected to Play Sunday vs Chiefs
By Karl Rasmussen
The Minnesota Vikings are rolling right now, winners of four in a row, and they're looking to march into Arrowhead Stadium and extend their streak to five.
Well, they just received a big boost towards achieving that goal as Adam Thielen, who's been sidelined with a hamstring injury, is expected to take the field.

Thielen suffered the injury in Week 7 against the Lions after making a touchdown reception, and he sat out the Week 8 clash with the Redskins.
Fortunately it looks like Kirk Cousins will have one of his high-priority targets back on the field on Sunday, and the offense will certainly need to be firing on all cylinders if they want to out-score the Chiefs--especially if Patrick Mahomes is back in action.

On the season, Thielen has reeled in 27 receptions for 391 yards and six touchdowns and a rushing score as well. The 29-year-old is looking to book his third-straight trip to the Pro Bowl in 2019, as well as help Minnesota get back into the postseason.
