The 5-0 Minnesota Vikings will play the 4-1 Detroit Lions on Sunday, in the most anticipated NFL matchup of week 7. There are plenty of injury questions, as we get closer to the weekend. One one of those injured players is tight end TJ Hockenson, who has been rehabbing from a brutal knee injury he suffered late last season
On Thursday, the Pro Bowler out of the University of Iowa met with media members to discuss his rehab and possible return off the PUP list this week. Had we not been fed reports for the last week saying Hockenson probably won’t play Sunday, you’d sure think he’s at least trying to suit up.
TJ Hockenson unsure about his status for Minnesota Vikings vs Detroit Lions
He told reporters that he feels good, and that he’s “passed every test by miles”. He went on to say that the tracking device Vikings players wear during practice says that he’s running faster now than he ever has before.
When asked if he is going to play vs his old team, the Detroit Lions, Hockenson pumped the breaks, and said they are still taking things day by day.
