The Minnesota Vikings are strategically easing tight end T.J. Hockenson back into their offense following his recovery from a knee injury. Hockenson has quickly returned to being a key player, leading the team with eight receptions for 72 yards against the Jaguars, despite playing under 50% of the snaps in his first two games back.

Josh Oliver has emerged as a strong contributor, excelling in both blocking and receiving roles. The team aims to maintain a balanced rotation among tight ends to keep everyone fresh for the season.

Hockenson's upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans holds personal significance, as he has ties to Nashville. Meanwhile, the Vikings are seeing positive developments with other injured players returning to practice, indicating a potential boost for the team.
