Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson won't make his season debut in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions as he continues to recover from a knee injury.

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings didn't lose a game for the sixth straight week, but this time, fans can thank the bye. Week 7 should prove much tougher in terms of retaining a spotless record, as the Detroit Lions, last year's NFC runner-up, come to town for a showdown of the NFC North's top two contenders.

The Vikings (5-0) have been one of the NFL’s pleasant surprises, as they’re dominating defensively along with averaging 28 points per game. Minnesota has also surprised some of the best teams in football since it already has wins over the 49ers, Texans and Packers.
