Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson suffered a concussion Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs and will not return.
The Lions ruled Hockenson out after going through the concussion protocol. The rookie tight end suffered the injury after falling trying to hurdle a defender. Hockenson was carted to the locker room after the play.
Hockenson had three catches for 27 yards and a touchdown prior to the injury.
The 22-year-old entered the season with high expectations as the No. 8 pick of the 2019 NFL draft, the highest tight end selected since Vernon Davis in 2006.
