Lions place rookie QB Hooker on NFI list

The Detroit Lions placed rookie quarterback HENDON HOOKER on the non-football injury (NFI) list this week. Hooker suffered an ACL injury in November of 2022 while playing in college at Tennessee. Many draft analysts had Hooker projected as a first-round selection, but he lasted until the Lions took him with the 68th overall pick. Detroit head coach Dan Campbell said Hooker will likely spend this season redshirting as he strengthens his knee and gets adjusted to life in the NFL. Since he’s on the NFI list, however, Hooker can be activated and made eligible to play at any point this season.
