Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson opened up about the season-ending knee injury he suffered during a Christmas Eve loss to the Detroit Lions and said he believes the NFL should look into ways to minimize dangerous low hits even amid a focus on reducing concussions and head injuries.
He suffered a torn ACL and MCL when Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph hit him low in a play Hockenson said he "wasn't too happy about." Joseph also injured Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee during a playoff game.
"It's tough," Hockenson said Monday, per ESPN's Kevin Seifert.
