T.J. Hockenson had some good things to say about Robert Tonyan following Indiana’s 91-83 win over Minnesota on…
The “problem” is actually a good thing for the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings currently have six tight ends on the roster, and they all have either proven their worth or have some potential upside in their respective roles. They all can’t be on the field, so who gets the playing the time?
Although there’s six tight ends on the roster, expect three to four to make the final 53-man roster. As it’s been hinted at over the last couple months, expect one of the best tight ends in the league to start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list recovering from a torn MCL/ACL injury sustained last season. This will open up a roster spot for an additional tight end until Hockenson is ready to return.
Per Alec Lewis (The Athletic), he still expects Hockenson to put up over 1,000 receiving yards this season despite missing games to start the season. If this is the case, this would be pretty big for the Vikings offense and also signals that Hockenson will be back sooner rather than later for the 2024 NFL season.
