Double torn knee ligaments for Minnesota tight end.
Kevin O'Connell confirmed in a press conference that TJ Hockenson suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral following the game against Detroit. The tight end was injured on a big contact after a reception.
The Minnesota tight receiver therefore sees his season shortened while Minneapolis is still in the race for qualification in the playoffs.
For the Vikings this represents a substantial loss in their offensive staff. Hockenson leads the team with 95 receptions. He has rushed for 960 yards and 5 touchdowns in 15 games this year.
