Overview
- The Titans finalized a deal Wednesday to add Hendon Hooker, one of four free agents the team signed according to the Associated Press.
- Hooker enters a competition for a backup role with veterans Mitchell Trubisky and Will Levis as Cam Ward holds the starting job.
- At Tennessee, Hooker delivered a standout 2022 season with 3,135 passing yards, 27 touchdowns, and only two interceptions before an ACL tear.
- Detroit drafted him 68th overall in 2023, he spent most of his rookie year rehabbing, and he logged three brief appearances with the Lions for 62 passing yards on 6-of-9 throwing.
- Lions coaches later questioned his progress before releasing him after a turnover-filled 2025 preseason, and he then spent time on the Panthers’ and Jets’ practice squads.
