The Facts: According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Thielen should play this weekend despite his ankle injury, but he won't do anything until game time.

Diehards Line: Thielen needed stitches to close a cut he suffered during Wednesday's practice. He did not practice Thursday as part of the ongoing effort to have him ready for Saturday's game in San Francisco. That appears to be the most-likely outcome, but with Thielen officially listed as questionable, we'll continue to follow up through the inactive announcement in the 90 minutes leading up to the late-afternoon kickoff.
