Thielen out 4th consecutive game with scar tissue in leg

Minnesota Vikings wideout Adam Thielen won't play on Sunday as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.

Thielen has missed four of the Vikings' last five games due to scar tissue in his leg. He tried to give it a go in Week 9 but exited early in the contest.

However, both the team and Thielen are optimistic he can return in Week 15 to face the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Vikings have gone 3-2 while playing predominantly without Thielen the past five weeks.
