Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
T.J. Hockenson suffers season-ending ACL, MCL injuries
An MRI for Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson revealed ACL and MCL injuries that will end his season, the team announced Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Hockenson suffered a right knee injury in Sunday’s loss to the Lions, and the team was immediately bracing for the worst. He’ll miss the final two games of the season and any potential playoff matchups, should the Vikings qualify and advance. The concern now will be if he can return to full health ahead of the start of the 2024 season. With Hockenson out, Josh Oliver will likely step into the starting TE role for the Vikings but is not someone fantasy managers should rely on in their fantasy playoffs matchups.

Michael Thomas (knee) not expected to return in Week 17
Saints’ coach Dennis Allen said Michael Thomas is not expected to return in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
Thomas will remain on injured reserve as he continues to deal with a knee injury. It is not clear if he will play again this season.
Ari Koslow
Zach Wilson officially ruled out for Week 17
Jets QB Zach Wilson has officially been ruled out for a Week 17 matchup with Cleveland.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson has not cleared concussion protocol and will not play Thursday. With the short week, the announcement does not come as much of a surprising. The Jets will start Trevor Siemian against a tough Cleveland defense Thursday night.
