Vikings' T.J. Hockenson to Miss First Four Games of 2024 Season

The tight end remains on the physically-unable-to-perform list as he recovers from ACL surgery.

Hockenson injured his knee in December, resulting in ACL and MCL tears.
Surgery for the ACL was delayed to allow the MCL to heal naturally.
He has not practiced with the team since the injury but has shown progress in rehab.
Hockenson could return for the Vikings' Week 5 game against the Jets.
Other players, including Gabriel Murphy and Dalton Risner, will also start the season on short-term IR.
