Let’s play along with T.J. Hockenson and the Vikings’ game for a moment.
Let’s buy into the story that the tight end developed an ear infection that affected his equilibrium three weeks ago, causing him to only take part in the first portion of practices and sit out team drills in training camp. I had my doubts about this — in part because in discussing the issue Hockenson avoided providing any real details — but, hey, maybe it would clear up.
