Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson missed practice on Monday after suffering a lower-body injury on the weekend, according to multiple reports.
Hockenson, 28, was injured during a practice on Saturday and had a noticeable limp.
The two-time Pro Bowler is listed with leg, hip and back issues. It's unclear if he will be able to take part in drills on Tuesday or Wednesday.
In 10 game last season, Hockenson caught 41 of 62 targets for 455 yards. He was held out of the end zone for the first time in his NFL career.
In six seasons with the Detroit Lions (2019-2022) and Vikings (2022-2024), Hockenson has 382 receptions, 4,002 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns in 82 games.
Quarterback J.J. McCarthy is expected to play against the Houston Texans as Minnesota kicks off its preseason action Saturday, but it's unclear if Hockenson would play even if healthy. McCarthy, the second-year signal-caller and 2024 Vikings' first round draft pick from Michigan, missed his entire rookie season due to a knee injury.
