Minnesota Vikings WR Stefon Diggs has quickly emerged as one of the league’s best receivers.

However, after suffering a minor knee injury on Sunday, the talented wide out simply didn’t have enough time to recover ahead of Thursday’s Thanksgiving matchup against the Detroit Lions.

Thus, former Ole Miss WR Laquon Treadwell, the Vikings 2016 first-round pick, is expected to make the first start of his young career:

Treadwell has gotten off to a slow start this year and has recorded only one catch for 15 yards so far.

If the Vikings are going to win at Detroit, Treadwell is going to have to be a big part of the offense.

Watch the Lions and Vikings square off at 12:30 p.m. Eastern time on CBS.
