The Minnesota Vikings got some encouraging updates in practice on Thursday.
On Wednesday, TJ Hockenson and Brian Asamoah II were listed as DNP, while Ezra Cleveland and Jalen Nailor were listed as limited. On Thursday, only Asamoah was held out.
Cleveland missed the Monday Night Football matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. In his place, veteran Dalton Risner filled in.
Asamoah has played just 25 snaps this season after falling out of favor this summer. The second-year player has fallen behind rookie UDFA Ivan Pace Jr. on the depth chart.
Hockenson led the Vikings in catches on MNF and would be a huge loss for the offense.
Kevin O'Connell recently spoke about his excitement to get Jalen Nailor back, so the receiver could play a role as soon as he's fully healthy.
Be sure to check back on Friday for the final injury report ahead of a big NFC North showdown.
