After 10 months spent recovering from a knee injury, T.J. Hockenson was used mostly in passing situations against the Colts. Minnesota continued to lean on Josh Oliver as the every-down tight end.

T.J. Hockenson is set to resume his career as the Minnesota Vikings' top tight end Sunday night, 315 days after tearing two ligaments in his right knee. He said he is "bigger, stronger and faster than ever" according to measurements taken with the advanced technology the Vikings used during his long recovery and rehabilitation.
