The Minnesota Vikings don’t really seem very prepared to deal with a COVID-19 outbreak.
This past weekend against the Carolina Panthers was really the first time the Minnesota Vikings were significantly impacted out on the field by the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Vikings star receiver Adam Thielen was unable to play against the Panthers because he had yet to be removed from Minnesota’s Reserve/COVID-19 list. Thielen was placed on the list last Monday after he reportedly tested positive and negative for the virus.
Luckily, Justin Jefferson and the rest of the Vikings receivers were able to make up for the absence of Thielen during the team’s Week 12 win over Carolina.
