EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson had surgery on Monday to repair the torn ACL in his right knee, an injury he suffered Dec. 24 against the Detroit Lions, the Vikings confirmed.

Hockenson also tore the MCL in the same knee and decided, along with the Vikings, to delay the ACL surgery until the MCL had healed.

Monday's procedure was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache from the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles. With training camp roughly six months away, the Vikings have not yet provided a timetable for Hockenson's return to the field.
