Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson said Thursday he's on the road to recovery with his injured ribs. He said he plans to play Sunday night in Denver, but he'll continue managing what offensive coordinator Wes Phillips described this week as multiple rib injuries.
"Put it in the back of your head," said Hockenson, who was limited in Thursday's practice. "Obviously, remember that it's still there because you don't want to do anything worse. But just making sure that you turn it off for game day and worry about it later."
Hockenson did not detail the rib injuries, which he suffered in the Nov.
