Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen is expected to play Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, returning to action after missing one game with a hamstring injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports, citing a source.
The injury, suffered in a Week 7 victory over the Detroit Lions, kept Thielen out for last week's Thursday night win over the Washington Redskins.
He was a limited participant throughout this week of practice and was ultimately listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.
Thielen's return is a major boost for the Vikings in a matchup with the AFC West-leading Chiefs, as he and Stefon Diggs combine to form one of the NFL's premier receiver tandems.
Prior to the hamstring issue, the 29-year-old had racked up 27 receptions for 391 yards and six touchdowns.
