Vikings Lose Hockenson and Wonnum to Season-Ending Injuries

Injuries continue to plague the Minnesota Vikings as they fight for a playoff spot.

  • Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson and linebacker D.J. Wonnum will miss the rest of the season due to injuries sustained in Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions.
  • Hockenson, who leads the team with 95 catches and 960 receiving yards this season, sustained tears to the MCL and ACL in his knee.
  • Wonnum, who is second on the team with eight sacks, tore his quadriceps on a non-contact injury.
  • The Vikings, currently with a 7-8 record, have lost four of their last five games and fell out of playoff position with Sunday's loss.
  • The team needs to win their final two games and get help from either the Los Angeles Rams or Seattle Seahawks to make the playoffs.
