wide receiver is not expected to play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Thielen was placed on the COVID list Monday. Thielen reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 but then tested negative, so it is unclear if the initial result was a false positive.
Thielen, who is half of one of the best wide receiver duos in the NFL along with rookie Justin Jefferson, leads the league with 11 touchdown receptions this season.
