Lions' T.J. Hockenson: Making progress

Hockenson remains in the concussion protocol but is expected to participate in practice Wednesday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

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 availability Monday night.
