Lions Open Practice Window For Hendon Hooker

Lions Open Practice Window For Hendon Hooker

12 months ago

The Detroit Lions opened the 21-day practice window for rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker (knee) on Wednesday, meaning the team now has 21 days to officially activate him from the Non-Football Injury list. Hooker continues to recover from a torn left ACL. The Lions opened the season believing that 2023 would basically be a medical redshirt year for the 25-year-old signal-caller from Tennessee. Hooker can begin to practice with the team this week, but it's still probably unlikely that he's actually activated to the active 53-man roster to close out the regular season. Jared Goff will remain Detroit's starter under center as long as he's healthy, and he's being backed up by veteran Teddy Bridgewater and Adrian Martinez.
