Allen Park — T.J. Hockenson’s rookie season is over.
The tight end, drafted No. 8 overall out of Iowa, will be placed on injured reserve Monday, Lions coach Matt Patricia said.
The news comes after Hockenson was injured in Thursday’s game against Chicago, suffering a nasty right ankle injury. He was reportedly seen in a boot and also on a one-leg scooter in the locker room after the game.
