Minnesota Vikings receiver Adam Thielen will miss the remainder of the 2021 season after undergoing surgery on his ankle.
Chad Graff of The Athletic reported Thielen reaggravated his nagging ankle injury in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Thielen missed two games because of an ankle injury suffered in Week 13, although injuries rarely cause him to miss games.
The two-time Pro Bowler played every possible game in his first five seasons before a hamstring injury cost him six games in 2019. The wideout then spent one game on the reserve/COVID-19 list in 2020.
