Lions Designate Hendon Hooker To Return From ACL Tear
Hendon Hooker ready to practice after ACL recovery
Hooker, a rookie QB from Tennessee, has yet to see any NFL action. Hooker tore his ACL in his final year at Tennessee, keeping him out of the preseason and regular season for the Lions.
Detroit selected Hooker in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Hooker, 25, is an older rookie, and was predicted to potentially be a first-round QB selection before tearing his ACL.
It’s unlikely Ho
Hooker, 25, is an older rookie who dominated in his final year at Tennessee, throwing for over 3,100 yards with 27 touchdowns and just two interceptions. Hooker was named the 2022 SEC Offensive Player of the Year.
ill see any action this season backing up Jared Goff. While it’s possible the Lions don’t have anything to play for in Week 17 and decide to rest Goff, it seems more likely that the Lions will be in the hunt for the possible top seed in the NFC should the Philadelphia Eagles slip up over the next few weeks. The Lions currently hold a two-game lead over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North race.
