The Vikings are sending Detroit a 2023 second-round pick and a 2024 fourth-rounder, per the reports. The Vikings get Hockenson, a 2023 fourth-round pick and a 2024 conditional fourth-round pick.
The Vikings lost starting tight end Irv Smith Jr. to a high-ankle sprain last Sunday. He's expected to miss up to 10 weeks, ESPN reported Tuesday afternoon. The Vikings placed Smith on injured reserve.
The team's only other option on the active roster is Johnny Mundt, who has 12 catches in 2022.
Smith Jr. missed the entire 2021 season and three games in 2020 but had played in all seven games for the Vikings this season.
