Hendon Hooker To Begin Season On NFI List
1 year agoDetroit Lions rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker (knee) will start his first NFL season in 2023 on the Non-Football Injury list, according to a source. Hooker continues to recover from an ACL tear he suffered in college, and the Lions will continue to take it slow with their No. 68 overall pick in this year's NFL draft. This move was expected since the day the Lions took the 25-year-old in the draft. He'll be forced to sit out the first four games of the season, but Hooker is fully expected to have a redshirt year in 2023. Nate Sudfeld tore his ACL in the preseason finale on Friday, so the Lions will most likely look to add another veteran signal-caller behind Jared Goff and Teddy Bridgewater before the start of the regular season.
