Vikings

Vikings WR Adam Thielen said his rehab from ankle surgery is coming along well.

โ€œFeel great,โ€ Thielen said, via Chris Tomasson. โ€œWalking around again, which feels nice. โ€ฆ My ankle wasnโ€™t stable, so I had to do the surgery, which was a bummer, obviously. I want to be out there competing with my teammates. โ€ฆ  It was a bummer not to be able to finish out the year, but it could have been a lot worse. Itโ€™s a pretty easy surgery, and everything went pretty well.โ€

  • The Vikings worked out P Cody Grace on Tuesday. (Aaron Wilson)
