Able to practice Thursday
Hockenson (hip) is participating in practice Thursday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Hockenson was limited to begin the week Wednesday, and while the extent of his participation Thursday has yet to be clarified, it's good that he's able to take the field. The 25-year-old tight end doesn't appear to be in danger of sitting out in Week 3 against the Vikings, and he'll look to step up his production after mustering just 64 yards through two games.
