Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson and offensive guard Dalton Risner were not activated before kickoff of the team’s game in Los Angeles. Rams receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua will return from injuries.

The return of star tight end T.J. Hockenson will have to wait until next week. As the Vikings prepared for a primetime game against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night at SoFi Stadium, they decided not to activate Hockenson from the Physically Unable To Perform List.

The Minnesota Vikings have decided to hold tight end T.J. Hockenson out of Thursday night's game at the Los Angeles Rams, the team said. But the Vikings plan to activate him Friday to their 53-man roster and have him available for their Week 9 game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football.
