T.J. Hockenson Misses Practice, Status Doubtful for Thursday Game

Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, marking no activity this week. He will likely need at least limited participation in Wednesday's session to have a chance at playing Thursday against the Lions. If Hockenson is able to play through the shoulder issue, he would be working with undrafted rookie quarterback Max Brosmer, who has been named the Vikings' Week 17 starter with J.J. McCarthy (hand) ruled out. In Brosmer's only other start in Week 13, Hockenson recorded six catches for 59 yards on six targets.
