What is the story about?

The Minnesota Vikings are back from their Bye Week and ready to take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7.

Both teams are dealing with a handful of injuries that could swing the matchup in one team's favor or the other. In this piece, we are discussing the status of Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson. He was coming off a massive Week 4 performance when he suffered a concussion on the opening drive of Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. Thankfully, the Bye Week came at the right time, and he had some time off to get right.

Is T.J. Hockenson playing in Week 7?

As we said, the Bye Week came at the perfect time for Hockenson to recover from the concussion he suffered. He practiced this week and was removed from the injury report as a result, meaning he will be in the lineup for the Vikings.

On a fantasy note, the middle of the Colts' defense is beaten up, so it could be a big game for Hockenson and Kyler Murray once again.
