Adam Thielen caught a league-high 11 touchdowns in 10 games before spending the next 10 days in COVID-19 quarantine.
Surely, he lost a little bit of his mojo in practice this week, eh Mike Zimmer?
"No, I don't think so," the Vikings coach said of his No. 1 receiver, who made it through all three practices this week and will start against the 1-10 Jaguars on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
"He looks skinnier to me, but he said his weight is the same. But other than that, he was good. I kept teasing him that he looked like he hadn't found a weight room in a week."
Actually, the guy who owns his own local gym also has one at his house that he used.
Thielen was the sixth Vikings player to be quarantined since Oct. 28. He was one of three to test positive for COVID-19 but sidestepped questions on Friday about his test result and symptoms.
Clearly, his symptoms were minor.
"Thankfully, I was able to work out," Thielen said. "I have a little home gym that I made do with. And then I was able to run outside. It was nice enough weather where I could run and do hill sprints and things like that and stay in shape.
