Fever's Clark Injury Status Draws WNBA Rules Scrutiny

Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson's Contract and Injury Concerns

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson is dealing with lower back stiffness, adding to his unusual summer plagued by an ear infection.

The Vikings have been eager to extend Hockenson's contract, but little progress has been made in talks. While some speculate that his reduced activity may be a leverage tactic, Hockenson denies that his contract status is affecting his absence. Coach Kevin O'Connell emphasizes the importance of getting Hockenson healthy for the regular season.
