T.J. Hockenson Out For Season With Torn ACL, MCL

Dec 26, 2023 9:52 PM

T.J. Hockenson tore both the ACL and MCL ligaments in his right knee during the Minnesota Vikings loss to the Detroit Lions.

Hockenson will be placed on injured reserve and surgery will be scheduled soon.

Recovery from double ligament tears can take a bit more time, but Kevin O'Connell said: "Knowing T.J., the type of player he is, I'm absolutely looking forward to when we can get him back rolling and ready to have a great 2024 season."

Hockenson was having a career year in his first full season with the Vikings. He ranks second in the NFL in catches by tight ends (95), third in receiving yards (960) and has been the Vikings' most consistent offensive threat.

Sep 25, 2023 1:56 PM

Mike Williams has been ruled out for the rest of the 2023 season with a torn ACL.

Williams has been one of the Chargers' top targets since he entered the league in 2017. In March 2022, the Chargers rewarded Williams with a three-year, $60 million contract.

Williams caught a pass in the third quarter and went to make a juke move to get by Vikings safety Harrison Smith. But Williams planted his left leg, fell, and was tackled from behind.

Cooper Kupp Visits Hamstring Specialist

Sep 4, 2023 3:05 PM

Cooper Kupp visited a specialist in Minnesota on Monday in hopes of figuring out his hamstring issues. 

The visit comes after Kupp had a setback with his hamstring injury last week.

"I think you just move forward, and you have to be able to operate with the situation and the guys we do have and if he's able to go then that's outstanding for us and, if not, then that's kind of how we've been operating it," Sean McVay said.

"I think the most important thing is that whenever he's ready to take the field, whether that be this week, whether that be Week 2, whatever it is, as long as he's able to have that return to performance, he's feeling like the Cooper Kupp that we all know and love and he's got some clarity on what is really going on, I think that will be a really good situation for us."

Kupp played nine games last season before a season-ending ankle injury but led the NFL in receptions (145), yards (1,947) and touchdowns (16) in 2021.
