Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will start the season on the physically unable to perform list, leaving him ineligible to play until Week 5, ESPN reported Tuesday.

Hockenson tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee on Dec. 24 in a 30-24 loss to the Lions. The injury occurred when Hockenson hauled in a touchdown pass and took a hit from Detroit safety Kerby Joseph.
