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 Minnesota Vikings announced.

Hockenson also tore the MCL in the same knee. The decision was made to delay the ACL surgery until the MCL 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.

Andy Reid says the Kansas City Chiefs did not file erroneous injury reports regarding Kadarius Toney as the wide receiver claimed in a profanity-filled Instagram Live post.

"He's been on the injury report, [so] that part is not made up by any means," Reid said.

In his post, Toney said he doesn't have the hip and ankle injuries the Chiefs have recently listed for him on their weekly injury reports.

Toney hasn't played since a Week 15 game against the New England Patriots in which he deflected a pass to a defender for an interception for the second time this season.

The Chiefs said before Sunday's AFC Championship Game that Toney wouldn't play because of injuries and personal reasons. 

Toney's partner gave birth to the couple's first child, a daughter, on Saturday.

Kansas City Chiefs pass rusher Charles Omenihu tore an ACL in Sunday's AFC Championship Game and won't be available to play in Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers, according to reports.

Omenihu had a career-high seven sacks this season despite missing the first six games due to suspension.

He had a strip sack of Lamar Jackson on Sunday before leaving with the injury.

Omenihu, 26, joined the Chiefs as a free agent after four NFL seasons split between the Houston Texans and 49ers. 

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco will play against the Baltimore Ravens in Sunday's AFC Championship Game despite a questionable tag for an ankle injury, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

In the days after injuring his left shoulder on Saturday against the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel had legitimate fear that his season might end.

Less than a week after Samuel feared he had suffered a second hairline fracture, he and the 49ers got the news they'd been hoping for Friday: He has been cleared to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Detroit Lions.

Deebo Samuel was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session with the San Francisco 49ers. Samuel has a left shoulder injury.

"It's awesome," Christian McCaffrey said. "Anytime he's out there, he brings an extra set of juice that it's hard to mimic without him."

Samuel participated as he normally would during the portion of practice open to the media, stretching and later catching passes from Niners quarterback Brock Purdy during receiver and running back drills.

Testing on Samuel's shoulder Sunday and Monday showed he did not have a hairline fracture, which offered hope that he'd be able to play this week if the pain began to subside.

Deebo Samuel did not practice on Wednesday and his status for the NFC Championship Game remains uncertain.

Samuel injured his shoulder in the first half of the San Francisco 49ers' Divisional Round win over the Green Bay Packers last Saturday.

"He feels better," said Kyle Shanahan.

Deebo Samuel's status for the NFC Championship Game is in question after he left Saturday's win over the Green Bay Packers with a shoulder injury.

According to a report, the San Francisco 49ers view Samuel as "50-50" to play against the Detroit Lions.

Kyle Shanahan said after the game that Samuel wanted to return to the field, but "couldn't do it" and referenced a shoulder injury the wide receiver suffered earlier this season.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee suffered a torn ACL during the team's playoff loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday night.

Higbee suffered the injury on a low hit from Lions safety Kerby Joseph, whose tackle sparked criticism.

Joseph posted on social media Sunday that, "I'm praying for bro and his family I don't have no intention to hurt no body and or harm their career."

Higbee had 47 catches and 495 yards and two touchdowns this season.

Jalen Hurts says his finger is "progressing" in the correct way as the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.

Hurts dislocated the middle finger on his throwing hand in the regular-season finale against the New York Giants. 

The quarterback wore a glove on his throwing hand during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media.

Before that, Hurts said he hadn't thrown a ball since Sunday's game at New York.

"Obviously leaving that game and attempting to go back into that game probably wasn't physically the best idea, not having much control over the things that I wanted to do," he said. "But time will tell with that, and I can assure you things are progressing in the right way."
