T.J. Hockenson Starting season on PUP list
Published: 2024-08-27 06:23:39
Hockenson (knee) will be on the PUP list to start the regular season, ruling him out for at least the first four games, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Hockenson has been on the active/PUP list since the start of training camp and will now shift to reserve/PUP on Tuesday as teams cut their rosters down to 53 players. He won't count against that limit for at least the first four weeks of the season, which means his earliest date for a 2024 debut would be Week 6 against the Lions on Oct. 20, following Minnesota's Week 5 bye. Hockenson had the best statistical season of his career in 2023, only to see it marred by ACL and MCL tears on a hard hit to the knee during a Dec. 24 game against Detroit. Johnny Mundt, Josh Oliver and Robert Tonyan (back) will take most of Minnesota's TE snaps until Hockenson is ready.
