A collective sigh of relief was felt throughout the entire Minnesota Vikings fan base on Wednesday, as Pro Bowl tight end T.J. Hockenson returned to practice for the first time since suffering an undisclosed injury this past Saturday.
On Monday, Hockenson did not participate in Minnesota's night practice with what Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell described as "normal training camp bumps and bruises." Turns out O'Connell was telling the truth.
Hockenson's return is great news for Minnesota, especially after it was revealed on Tuesday that Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has officially been suspended for the first three games of the 2025 season by the NFL.
