Vikings' Jones, Hockenson questionable vs. Lions
Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones and tight end T.J. Hockenson are questionable for the team's Week 7 matchup with the Detroit Lions, the team announced Friday.
Jones is dealing with a hamstring injury, while Hockenson is in his 21-day practice window after beginning the campaign on injured reserve following a season-ending knee injury last year.
Jones has been instrumental to the Vikings' undefeated start to the year, rushing for 350 yards in five games while catching 17 passes for 167 yards and scoring a pair of touchdowns. He was limited to just 22% of the team's offensive snaps in Week 5 before exiting due to injury.
Hockenson is rehabbing a torn ACL and MCL that he sustained against the Lions last season. The 27-year-old was one of the NFL's most productive tight ends before going down, tallying 960 yards and five touchdowns on 95 receptions in 15 games.
Offensive lineman Dalton Risner is also questionable for the matchup after his 21-day practice window opened earlier this week. The veteran is dealing with a back injury that he sustained in training camp.
Both Hockenson and Risner would need to be activated to the 53-man roster in order to play Sunday.
