DETROIT – Receiver Adam Thielen did not return to the Vikings’ 42-30 win on Sunday against the Lions after tweaking his hamstring on a 25-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter.
Thielen is expected to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his hamstring injury, which didn’t immediately remove the Vikings receiver from the game. He wasn’t ruled out by the Vikings until the third quarter, when he remained in pads and a baseball cap on the sideline. Thielen said he felt the injury in his leg before colliding with the padded wall beyond a Ford Field end zone.
