Sources: Star Detroit Lions TE T.J. Hockenson out for season after having thumb surgery

Detroit Lions Pro Bowl tight end T.J. Hockenson underwent thumb surgery Thursday morning and will miss the remainder of the season, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Renowned hand-specialist Dr. Thomas Graham performed the surgery and Hockenson is expected to make a complete recovery in time for the offseason program, the sources said.

Hockenson leads the Lions with 61 receptions, 583 yards and four touchdown catches this season.
