EAGAN, Minn. -- The Vikings will open tight end T.J. Hockenson's practice window Friday, coach Kevin O'Connell said, as Minnesota moves closer to getting one of its top offensive players back on the field.

Hockenson has been on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list since the start of training camp while recovering from a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee, an injury he suffered last Dec. against his former team -- the Detroit Lions.

O'Connell would not speculate about when Hockenson will return to the active roster, but the timing of his window means the Vikings could hold him out through their Week 8 game at the Los Angeles Rams before they would be required to create a spot for him on their active roster.
