Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia said Saturday that tight end T.J. Hockenson was scheduled to meet with doctors before practice as he continues to deal with the concussion he suffered nearly two weeks ago against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hockenson, who was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, took part in practice Saturday. He had been listed as an “estimated” full participant in Friday’s walk-through, which was not open to reporters.
