EAGAN, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings plan to open tight end T.J. Hockenson's practice window later this week. This puts the two-time Pro Bowl pick another step closer to returning from the torn ACL and MCL in his right knee suffered near the end of last season. Hockenson started the season on the physically unable to perform list. He will start practicing with the team Friday in London. Hockenson will then have 21 days to continue ramping up before the Vikings must add him to the active roster.
