T.J. Hockenson Practicing On Thursday
3 years agoDetroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Hockenson has been bothered by a knee injury in recent weeks. While he has played through the injury, the 24-year-old hasn't found the end zone since Week 2 and has only eight receptions on 13 targets for 74 yards in the last three games. Hockenson has also been asked to block a bit more of late with Detroit's offensive line banged up, so that hasn't helped his cause. He'll be facing a Cincinnati Bengals defense that has allowed only 153 receiving yards and one TD to tight ends through five weeks, but Hockenson remains firmly in the TE1 mix despite his recent cold stretch.
