Vikings Downgrade Hockenson, Make Roster Moves

News summary

The Minnesota Vikings have officially downgraded tight end T.J. Hockenson and guard Dalton Risner to 'out' for their Week 7 game against the Detroit Lions. Hockenson, who has been recovering from a torn ACL, was aiming for a comeback against the team he was injured by last season, but his return will have to wait. In light of this, the Vikings signed tight end Robert Tonyan to the active roster, while also elevating defensive lineman Jalen Redmond and outside linebacker Bo Richter for the game. Despite Hockenson's absence, the Vikings, currently leading the NFC North at 5-0, are looking to maintain their position against the 4-1 Lions. The matchup holds significant importance for both teams as they vie for early control of the division. The Vikings' offense will need to adapt without Hockenson, who has been a crucial target in their passing game.
