Hockenson (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Hockenson took a step forward with his activity after not practicing in any capacity Wednesday, but according to Kyle Meinke of MLive.com, the tight end wasn't doing much on the field during Thursday's session. With that in mind, Hockenson's status for Sunday's game against the Vikings could truly be in question, potentially further weakening a winless Lions squad that is already expected to be missing three starting offensive linemen (tackles Taylor Decker and Penei Sewell and center Frank Ragnow) in Week 5. The Lions will evaluate Hockenson at Friday's practice before deciding whether he'll carry an injury designation into the weekend.
