  • Recovering from ankle injury

    Hockenson (ankle) was still using a scooter to get around in late December, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: There hasn't been any substantiative update on Hockenson's recovery from the season-ending ankle injury he suffered in late November. His continued use of a scooter a full month later suggests he had surgery, but neither player nor team has provided confirmation. The eighth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft finished his rookie season with 32 catches for 367 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games, struggling to make an impact after his 6-131-1 explosion Week 1 at Arizona. Hockenson was limited to…read more

  • Heading to IR

    Hockenson (ankle) will be placed on injured reserve, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Hockenson started his rookie campaign with a bang, corralling six of nine targets for 131 yards and a touchdown Week 1 at Arizona. Since then, he's contended with a concussion and a right shoulder injury, but he's also topped out at 56 receiving yards (Week 9 in Oakland) and scored just one more TD (Week 4 versus the Chiefs) in the ensuing 11 contests. Near the end of the Lions' last game Thanksgiving day against the Bears, Hockenson's lower leg bent in an awkward fashion, requiring him to use…read more

  • Injures leg Thursday

    Hockenson (leg) was wearing a walking boot and using a scooter to move about after Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Bears, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Hockenson was hobbled after making his sixth and final catch of the contest. In the immediate aftermath, he was on crutches outside the locker room, per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. However, the Lions appear to be taking a more cautious approach with Hockenson's health due to presence of the boot and scooter. Look for the team to clarify the specific nature of his injury in due time.

  • Suiting up Thursday

    Hockenson (shoulder) is listed as active Thursday versus the Bears.

    Analysis: After showing up Saturday on the practice report with a shoulder injury, Hockenson now will play two games in the span of five days. With undrafted rookie David Blough under center, Hockenson may be called upon to block more often than not against a tough Bears front seven. Moreover, Hockenson may split reps with fellow tight ends Jesse James and Logan Thomas, though the latter (a college quarterback) may be the emergency QB option due to Jeff Driskel's sore hamstring.

  • Officially questionable

    Hockenson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Bears.

    Analysis: Hockenson was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, which is a good sign for his availability after he was labeled as a limited participant in the first two sessions of Week 13. If the rookie first-round pick suits up Thanksgiving Day, he'll lead a tight-end room that also features Jesse James and Logan Thomas.

  • Limited again Tuesday

    Hockenson (shoulder) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hockenson has maintained his activity level through two injury reports this week, with Wednesday's final version potentially clearing up his status for Thursday's game versus the Bears. Even if he suits up, though, he may split work with the Lions' other tight ends for a second straight contest. In this past Sunday's loss at Washington, Hockenson received 33 of 74 offensive snaps, while Jesse James handled 32 and Logan Thomas got 28.

  • LP on practice estimate

    Hockenson (shoulder) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hockenson dealt with this injury leading up to Week 12's loss to the Redskins and appeared to be held back, logging a season-low 33 offensive snaps and his first game without a catch. Since the 22-year-old still is expected to practice this week, he doesn't appear to be in jeopardy of missing a Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Bears at this time.

  • First game without a catch

    Hockenson didn't catch either of his targets during Sunday's 19-16 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Hockenson was active for the game despite popping up on the injury report late Saturday with a shoulder injury. However, it's fair to wonder to what degree he was physically limited. Not only was this the first game he went without a catch, but the division of playing time between Hockenson (33 offensive snaps), Jesse James (32) and Logan Thomas (28) was as close as it's ever been. Especially if the rookie is playing through an injury, it'll be very hard to trust Hockenson to produce in any…read more

  • Suiting up Week 12

    Hockenson (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday at Washington.

    Analysis: In the same game in which he suffered a concussion Week 4 against the Chiefs, Hockenson fell hard on his right shoulder while attempting to hurdle a defender. He didn't miss any game action due to the Lions' ensuing bye, but his status for Sunday's game came into question Saturday, when he curiously was added to the injury report with a shoulder injury. Hockenson will be available to the offense but may yield reps to fellow tight ends Jesse James and Logan Thomas.

  • Dealing with shoulder injury

    Hockenson has a shoulder injury and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

    Analysis: The shoulder injury is a recent development as Hockenson wasn't present on the injury report all week, leaving his status for Sunday firmly up in the air. Jesse James and Logan Thomas would see increased work at tight end should Hockenson be unable to face Washington.

  • Ties season low in catches

    Hockenson caught one of two targets for six yards during Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: It's interesting that Hockenson wasn't in the starting lineup even though Detroit opened the game in a two-tight-end formation, but the rookie nonetheless wound up with his second-highest snap share of the season before the final whistle. The issue for him Sunday was that he just didn't see many passes come his way, as Hockenson also finished the game having seen his second-fewest targets of the year. There's optimism for a modest bounce-back effort Week 12 against Washington, but it's hard to…read more

  • Another three-catch outing

    Hockenson caught three of six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: Hockenson didn't see a significant difference in his involvement with Jeff Driskel filling in for Matthew Stafford (back) under center. The rookie tight end has caught at least three passes in six of his first nine games. He'll face the Cowboys at home in Week 11.

  • Avoids injury report

    Hockenson (undisclosed) wasn't listed on the Lions' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hockenson was removed during the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's game at Oakland to be evaluated for a concussion. While Hockenson passed all neurological tests, coach Matt Patricia told Justin Rogers of The Detroit News afterward that the tight end had the breath taken out of him. The hit from Raiders safety Erik Harris was enough to keep Hockenson sidelined for the remainder of Sunday's game, but didn't result in any sort of designation on the Lions' initial Week 10 practice report.…read more

  • Dodges concussion

    Head coach Matt Patricia said Hockenson was hit in the back and it took the breath out of the tight end, but Hockenson is not dealing with a concussion, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Hockenson took a hard hit from Raiders safety Erik Harris on the final drive of the game during Sunday's 31-24 loss to Oakland. The rookie had to leave the field to be checked for a head injury, but Hockenson apparently was clear of concussion symptoms, which is especially great news for someone who was just treated for a concussion over Detroit's Week 5 bye thanks to another hit he took late during the Lions' Week 4 loss to Kansas City. Hockenson's level of participation in practice Wednesday…read more

  • Unable to return to game

    Hockenson never returned to Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Raiders after he was evaluated for a potential concussion in the fourth quarter, Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: The Lions didn't have any update after the game, with coach Matt Patricia unable to confirm that Hockenson officially was diagnosed with the injury. The rookie tight end previously suffered a concussion Week 4 against the Chiefs, returning to action after a Week 5 bye. Jesse James and Logan Thomas would be line for more snaps if Hockenson isn't available Week 10 in Chicago.

  • Being evaluated for concussion

    Hockenson is being evaluated for a concussion after taking a big hit Sunday against the Raiders, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Hockenson is currently getting checked out in the blue tent in the fourth quarter. His return should be considered questionable as the Lions look to pull off a late comeback. The tight end mustered three catches for 56 yards before exiting.

  • One catch against Giants

    Hockenson caught his only target for 21 yards during Sunday's 31-26 victory over the Giants.

    Analysis: Despite a soft matchup, Hockenson didn't see many passes come his way. Instead, he watched Danny Amendola serve as Matthew Stafford's favorite short-range weapon. Playing time isn't the issue with Hockenson -- he saw almost double the offensive snaps of the next-busiest tight end in Jesse James -- but rather it's Stafford's propensity to spread the ball around. As long as Amendola, Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones stay healthy, it will continue to be difficult to trust Hockenson as anything more…read more

  • Catches three passes

    Hockenson caught three of five targets for 32 yards during Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Hockenson had his highs and lows in this one. After seeming to struggle as a blocker early on, the rookie later made a nice block downfield to spring Marvin Jones into the end zone. Hockenson also seemed to stop early on a couple of routes as a pass catcher, but he was also missed by quarterback Matthew Stafford on a play where the tight end had gotten open in the end zone. While it was altogether another disappointing fantasy performance from the first-round pick, there's upside in rostering…read more

  • Receiving struggles continue

    Hockenson caught four of six targets for 21 yards during Monday's 23-22 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: The bright side is that Hockenson showed no signs of a concussion and he ultimately finished second on the team in targets behind Kenny Golladay's nine. The flip side is that the rookie's inability to translate his usage into production was no fault but his own. Not only did Hockenson fail to extend a goal-line screen pass to the end zone early on, but he later dropped another potential touchdown in the corner of the end zone, failing to hang onto the ball after he hit the ground.

  • Out of concussion protocol

    Hockenson cleared the concussion protocol, making him eligible to play Monday at Green Bay.

    Analysis: The Lions indicated Hockenson was closing in on the final step of the protocol with full practices Friday and Saturday. After meeting with an independent neurologist, he'll be back just in time to take on the NFC North leaders. Unfortunately for Hockenson, he'll be facing a Packers defense that has allowed the third-fewest yards per catch (8.2) to tight ends this season.

  • Questionable for MNF

    Hockenson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Hockenson was able to practice without limitations both Friday and Saturday, but he'll still need to be cleared by an independent neurologist before he can play Monday. This may end up being a game-time call when the inactives are released 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Hockenson's unable to go, Jesse James figures to be the Lions' No. 1 tight end.

  • Practicing Saturday

    Hockenson (concussion) will practice Saturday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This doesn't come as a surprise, as Hockenson was listed as a full participant on Friday's estimated injury report. This doesn't, however, mean that the tight end has cleared concussion protocol. Look for confirmation on that once the Lions release their final injury report of the week, but all signs are pointing toward Hockenson suiting up Monday night.

  • Logs full practice Friday

    Hockenson (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Friday's estimated injury report, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Hockenson has yet to clear the protocol for head injuries, but this development is the best sign yet that a visit to an independent neurologist is imminent. Once he gets past that final hurdle, he'll be cleared to play Monday in Green Bay. On the other hand, if he doesn't get approval to return, the Lions again will rely on Jesse James and Logan Thomas to man tight end.

  • Trending in right direction

    Coach Matt Patricia indicated Friday morning that Hockenson (concussion) is trending toward playing in the Lions' Monday night matchup with the Packers, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Hockenson still has a few steps to go in the concussion protocol, but Patricia indicated Hockenson has been able to take part in all drills at practice, which indicates the Lions are preparing as if he will play Monday night. Hockenson's status for Week 6 will not be officially revealed until Saturday, and a final call on his availability may not come until after that, but fantasy players have reason to believe he will be good to go coming out of the Lions' Week 5 bye.

  • Gets limited tag in practice

    Hockenson (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Hockenson was also on the practice field for the Lions' unofficial session Wednesday, but his limited listing Thursday indicates that he remains in the NFL's concussion protocol coming off a bye week. He'll need to receive clearance from an independent neurologist within the next few days if he hopes to suit up Monday night in Green Bay.

    Analysis: Coming off Detroit's bye week, Hockenson appears to have made at least some progress through the NFL's five-step protocol for head injuries. The rookie first-round pick will benefit from a bit of additional time to get healthy before Monday's divisional tilt in Green Bay, although it still remains unclear whether he'll ultimately play Week 6. Even if he resumes practicing with contact by the end of the week, he'll need to receive full clearance from an independent neurologist to guarantee his…read more

  • In concussion protocol

    Head coach Matt Patricia said Monday that Hockenson (concussion) is currently in the league's concussion protocol and that there isn't any concern about his shoulder, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: It was already reported earlier Monday that Hockenson isn't a candidate for injured reserve, which could mean his injury isn't long-term in nature, although it's still unclear just how much time the rookie could miss. The Lions will be on bye for Week 5, with their next game coming Oct. 14 against Green Bay.

  • Not headed for IR

    Hockenson (concussion/shoulder), who was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Chiefs, is not a candidate for IR, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: That's a bit of good news as the Lions approach their Week 5 bye, but it remains to be seen if the extra recovery time that affords Hockenson will be enough for him to gain clearance to play in the team's Oct. 14 contest against the Packers. Hockensen was officially diagnosed with a concussion and a right shoulder injury upon exiting in the third quarter when he was upended by Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu.

  • Officially has concussion

    Hockenson has been ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs due to a concussion, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Hockenson remained on the turf for a spell after an attempted hurdle caused him to land on his right shoulder. He was able to walk to the cart as he was removed from the field, but the concussion protocol now is in his path for another appearance. Fortunately for Hockenson, the Lions enter their bye week before going on the road Monday, Oct. 14, at Green Bay in Week 6.

  • Possible head injury

    Hockenson is under evaluation for a concussion during Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Hockenson left the contest after an attempted hurdle gone wrong. Assuming he's diagnosed with a head injury, he'll have plenty of time to recover for the Lions' next game (Oct. 14 in Green Bay) with the team heading into a Week 5 bye.

    Analysis: Hockenson landed hard on his right shoulder on an attempted hurdle attempt in the third quarter, laying on the turf for some time before stirring and walking to the cart. The nature of his injury has yet to be released by the Lions, but if he doesn't return, he'll end Week 4 with three catches (on three targets) for 27 yards and one touchdown.

  • Another disappointing performance

    Hockenson caught one of four targets for one yard in Sunday's 27-24 victory over the Eagles.

    Analysis: It's starting to look like Hockenson's huge Week 1 performance is a product of Arizona's inability to cover tight ends, as Baltimore's Mark Andrews (8/112/1) and Carolina's Greg Olsen (6/75/2) also put up big numbers against the Cardinals in Weeks 2 and 3, respectively. Meanwhile, Hockenson has caught just two of seven targets for eight yards in two games since the season opener in the desert. While the rookie has at least showed some upside, he's also proving to be a low-floor fantasy option…read more

    Hockenson caught one of three targets for seven yards during Sunday's 13-10 victory over the Chargers.

    Analysis: A week after making headlines in the season opener, Hockenson crashed back down to Earth and ultimately finished with six fewer targets than last week and one less than Jesse James. It was interesting that the rookie wasn't used more against a team dealing with injuries at the safety position, but pretty much every Lions receiver took a clear back seat to Kenny Golladay in this one. Hockenson will look to get back on track next Sunday against an Eagles team that let the 35-year-old Vernon Davis…read more

  • Record-setting debut in tie game

    Hockenson caught six of nine passes for 131 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Anyone who wrote off Hockenson because of the "tight ends aren't productive as rookies" narrative needs to quickly reconsider the potential Hockenson provides on the stat sheet. Right out of the gate, the Iowa product saw more targets than any Lions receiver averaged per game in 2018 and he proceeded to translate that workload into the highest receiving total by any tight end in his first career game since the 1970 merger (topping the 103 yards Will Dissly collected last season).

  • Gains 52 yards on three catches

    Hockenson caught three of four targets for 52 yards during Friday's preseason game against the Bills.

    Analysis: He dropped a pass, but Hockenson was otherwise a standout performer while the Lions' starting offense was on the field. The longest of his gains went for 32 yards. Seemingly an important part of the Lions offense, Hockenson is expected to be the receiving complement to the blocking-oriented Jesse James in 2019.

  • Gets 22 yards on first pro catch

    Hockenson caught one pass for 22 yards during Saturday's preseason game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Hockenson looked smooth during a catch-and-run play that resulted in a quality gain on the rookie's first grab in live action as a pro. However, he also made a mistake that cost the team a Kerryon Johnson run, one on which Hockenson was ticketed with an illegal blocking penalty. Hockenson could see more involvement in the third preseason game next Friday against the Bills.

  • Could be No. 2 to start season

    Hockenson has displayed nice concentration in training camp practices and "doesn't seem to be fazed by traffic in tight spaces at all," Justin Rogers of the Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Hockenson, who was tabbed with the No. 8 selection in April's draft, has displayed his skills in training camp and is a big part of the future of the Lions offense, but Terez A. Paylor of Yahoo Sports suggests that the talented rookie will "likely start out the year as the (team's) No. 2 tight end behind Jesse James." That's reflected by the Lions' posted depth chart, but not Hockenson's current ADP, which is more reflective of his long-term upside than his likely early season fantasy prospects.

    Analysis: Hockenson made a couple of nice blocks in the run game, but he was taken out after a handful of snaps. He likely will see more involved in the second and third preseason matchups.

  • Making strong first impression

    Hockenson has made a strong first impression during the opening days of training camp, Michael Rothstein of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Hockenson reportedly drew a standing ovation from the crowd after a practice in which he made numerous eyebrow-raising catches in traffic. While we need to keep in mind that the pads have yet to come on, Hockenson has been drawing these kinds of reviews since he came to Detroit and he seems to be on track for a significant role in the Lions passing game. His primary competition for snaps, Jesse James, is reportedly being positioned as the team's primary blocking tight end.
