The Minnesota Vikings plan to open tight end T.J. Hockenson’s practice window later this week.

Hockenson started the season on the physically unable to perform list.

After the Vikings play Sunday in London against the New York Jets, they have their bye week before an Oct. 20 home game against the Detroit Lions. Because their game after that at the Los Angeles Rams is on a Thursday night, Oct. 24, the Vikings could thus wait three more games on Hockenson if he weren’t deemed ready. The latest date they could activate him would be Oct. 25, or else he’d have to go on season-ending injured reserve.
