While Thielen said Wednesday that he still had “another day” to show the team he was well enough to get on the field, the Vikings aren’t going to play the waiting game. They released their final injury report for Thursday’s game on Wednesday afternoon and it shows that Thielen has been ruled out.

Anyone want to bet me that Peterson still goes for over a hundred even in a loss?

Adrian Peterson practiced on Wednesday after being listed as a non-participant on Monday and Tuesday because of an ankle injury. That was enough for him to get a questionable tag for a matchup with his first NFL team.

I think that was the right decision.

Considering the last time he faced the Vikings, he only got 18?  I think he'll have a better game than that, but the chances are still slim that he gets anywhere near 100.  He'd have to break a long one to get there.   And since he left Minnesota, he's only had 3 carries longer than 27 yds, all last year.  While he's still pretty good, he's not what he once was.

I’m hoping the Vikes take him out of the game by the second quarter.
