The reserve list category was created in 2020 for players who either have tested positive for the coronavirus or have been in close contact with an infected individual.

Thielen, who leads the NFL with 11 receiving touchdowns, caught eight passes for 123 yards and two scores Sunday in the Vikings’ 31-28 loss to Dallas.

Thielen’s status for Minnesota’s Week 12 tilt against Carolina is now in question. The Vikings and Panthers kick off Sunday at noon.
