It was a rough start of the week for the Detroit Lions when it came to injuries. Detroit lost their best defensive player, outside linebacker Romeo Okwara, for the year with an Achilles injury, and Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow was placed on injured reserve. However, as the team prepares for Sunday’s bout with the Minnesota Vikings, they did get a bit of good news on the injury front.
Tight end T.J. Hockenson, who missed Wednesday’s practice and has been slowly working his way back, is expected to play against the Vikings, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
