Less than 24 hours after he was a healthy scratch, veteran receiver Adam Thielen has been waived by the Vikings.
In a statement, the Vikings said Thielen asked for his release last week as he playing time steadily decreased over the past couple of months. They granted it this week and now the 35-year-old is hoping to latch on with another team where he can play a bigger role in the offense.
This puts a sour end to a homecoming that was hyped up after the Vikings acquired Thielen in a trade with the Carolina Panthers over the summer.
