With Adam Thielen out for Monday’s gameagainst the Seahawks, the Vikings added a fourth healthy receiver to their active roster.

The team promoted Alexander Hollins from its practice squad on Monday afternoon, putting the rookie on the roster to join Stefon Diggs, Bisi Johnson and Laquon Treadwell in Seattle. To make room for Hollins, the Vikings put linebacker Ben Gedeon — who’d already been ruled out because of his second concussion this season — on injured reserve.

Hollins, whom the Vikings signed as an undrafted free agent, flashed his deep speed in training camp, and could add another downfield threat in whatever capacity he’s used on Monday night.
