        T.J. Hockenson Nearing a Return

        Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson is expected to come off the PUP list "this week or shortly thereafter," per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Hockenson tore his right ACL/MCL on December 24.

        Vikings QB Sam Darnold underwent an MRI on his knee that revealed no structural damage, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer. "He’s sore, but they are optimistic he plays against Green Bay" on Sunday, Glazer adds.

        The Vikings announced Wednesday that QB J.J. McCarthy will miss the entire 2024 season. Surgery on the meniscus in the rookie's right knee revealed that he needed a full repair.
