EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson has had a long time to think about the controversial hit that ended his 2023 season could keep him out from the start of 2024. Speaking publicly Monday for the first time since, Hockenson's mood boiled down to seven words.
"Obviously," he said, "I wasn't too happy about it."
As he continues his rehabilitation from torn ACL and MCL ligaments in his right knee, an injury he suffered from a direct hit by Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph in Week 16, Hockenson had plenty more to say.
