If Thielen's injury was serious they would've reported it as such. Sounds like he just twisted it and will take it easy until Saturday. Usually theyll report something like "Vikings concerned after Thielen was helped off practice field". This sounds minor.

Either that or everyone in the building is staying hush hush since it's the playoffs and they don't want to tip ANYTHING

And yet Spoon got yanked mid game in SEA. I think the team knows, but why tell the Vikings who will start.

The canceled press conference is curious at a minimum. And the fact that all the MIN beat writers were on it...

All I know is, he does the first 90% of the job well, but somehow allows the TD, even though hes blanketed on the guy, because he doesn't have the awareness to look back and swat the ball away. He's always looking somewhere else.

I know this has been posted a lot, but Sanders has been huge for us and JG continues to get better. Can't wait for Saturday.

#49ers Jimmy Garoppolo in 7 games before the Emmanuel Sanders trade:
90.8 passer rating, 7.87 yards per attempt, seven TD passes

In 10 games after adding Sanders:
108.1 rating, 8.62 yards per attempt, 20 touchdown passes https://t.co/oDH5tzCYRN

The cancelled press meeting is probably because Thielen's time is better spent getting treatment for the little tweak.
or
he doesn't want to be seen being wheel chaired up to the podium.

I agree that Moseley will start, but I don't think he's much better than Spoon Tbh I value them about the same right now, but Spoon has a higher ceiling. Both have struggled against top tier WRs.
