The Minnesota Vikings placed wide receiver Adam Thielen on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, the team announced.

Minnesota didn't confirm whether Thielen has COVID-19 or had close contact with someone who recently tested positive. He's the sixth Vikings player to be placed on the COVID-19 list this month.

The 30-year-old has racked up 49 catches for 646 yards and a league-high 11 touchdowns through 10 games this season. Thielen recorded eight receptions, 123 yards, and two scores Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Vikings have one of the NFL's best wideout duos this season in Thielen and rookie Justin Jefferson. They are two of the three highest-graded wide receivers in 2020, according to PFF.

Minnesota is scheduled to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 12.
