Lions rookie T.J. Hockenson says concussion 'part of the game,' but recovery went well

Allen Park — T.J. Hockenson didn't really want to talk about the scary-looking concussion he suffered a little more than two weeks ago against the Kansas City Chiefs.

To be honest, he didn't seem to want to be talking to the media at all.

But the Detroit Lions rookie tight end fielded a handful of questions in his first interview since his injury, explaining how the recovery went surprisingly well.

"It's part of the game, something we've all signed up for, something everyone is willing to do this for our living," Hockenson said.
