Hockenson’s rookie season is officially over, as the Lions are placing him on injured reserve with an ankle injury. He started the season strong but struggled after Week 1, gaining more than 32 yards just twice in his final 11 games. Although he didn’t miss a game, Hockenson did have multiple injuries limit him this season. Jesse James and Logan Thomas should take on more work at TE.

The Vikings are signing Hollins to their 53-man roster ahead of their game tonight vs the Seahawks. The Vikings won’t have Adam Thielen tonight, so Hollins provides depth at WR.

As reported by: Chris Tomasson Gardner Minshew Will Start for Jaguars Sunday
Minshew will return to starting for the Jaguars on Sunday, taking back over for Nick Foles. The Jaguars have struggled with Foles as the starter this year, going 0-4 with him compared to 4-4 with Minshew. While Foles can’t be blamed for the opening day loss where he was hurt early, the Jaguars have clearly been a more competitive team with Minshew running the show.
