Injured Vikings key player Says He’s Playing On Sunday

The Minnesota Vikings have miraculously turned their season around.

They started the year 1-4 and things were looking bleak.

Having just lost Justin Jefferson, many thought the season was over.

But, they have gone on an impressive four-game win streak to keep their season alive.

With Kirk Cousins out for the season, the team made a trade for quarterback Josh Dobbs from the Arizona Cardinals.

He played very well in his first games as a Viking.

But, for Dobbs to reach his full potential, it would be ideal if the Vikings have all their skill players available.

Star tight end T.J. Hockenson is battling a rib/oblique injury.

But, he still hopes to play on Sunday.

According to Kevin Seifert, Hockenson was asked if he would play this weekend, and he said: “That’s the plan.”

Having Hockenson in the lineup will be huge because Jefferson is still not ready to return from injury.

Last week, Hockenson caught seven passes for 69 yards.

Dobbs has shown he is more than capable of leading an NFL offense.

Now it will be interesting to see if he can build chemistry with the Vikings’ pass catchers.

The Detroit Lions are still the overwhelming favorite to win the NFC North.

But the Vikings are in position for a Wild Card berth.

Seeing how the second half of the season unfolds will be exciting.

Minnesota was thought of as having a lost season.

Credit to them for turning things around and getting back into contention.
