Bad news for the Minnesota Vikings as the team has ruled tight end T.J. Hockenson and wide receiver Jordan Addison out with injuries. 

The severity of their respective injuries are unclear, but Hockenson left the game after taking a hard hit to his knee on a 24-yard reception early in the third quarter. The team didn't wait long before ruling him out for the remainder of the game. 

Addison suffered an ankle injury late in the first half after Nick Mullens' deep ball in Addison's direction was intercepted by Detroit's Kerby Joseph.
