With the Vikings coming off their bye and not playing until Monday, they don’t have to issue an injury report until Thursday. It’s unknown if Wednesday’s inactivity was planned, or a response to a setback with Thielen’s injured hamstring. ESPN reports there was “a slight scare” with Thielen’s injury earlier this week, perhaps prompting Wednesday’s absence. Thielen, 29, injured his hamstring on a touchdown catch on Oct. 20 against the Detroit Lions. Joseph, 31, has 31 tackles (five for loss), three sacks and five QB hits in nine games this season.
