Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson tore his ACL in December against the Detroit Lions, ending his otherwise remarkable second act in purple.
There’s a New Wrinkle to T.J. Hockenson’s Situation
Notorious Lions safety Kerby Joseph hit Hockenson low, finishing his 2023 campaign and probably jeopardizing the beginning of the 2024 regular season. The same Lions defender ended Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee’s season two weeks later with a similar hit. Higbee is in the same recovery boat as Hockenson.
Thereafter, all things Hockenson turned to a recovery timeline, and the 26-year-old had knee surgery about two weeks ago.
