Hendon Hooker: Earns spot on Titans' PS
The Titans signed Hooker to the practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Team's official site reports.
Hooker was waived by Tennessee on Sunday but will stay with the team in some capacity as a member of the practice squad. The 28-year-old was selected by the Lions in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He appeared in three regular-season games for Detroit in 2024, going 6-for-9 for 6 yards and adding five carries for two yards. While Hooker could suit up for the Titans during the 2026 campaign, he is a long way away from earning a starting opportunity.

Titans' Hendon Hooker: Headed to Tennessee
Hooker is in line to sign with the Titans, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Hooker, who last saw regular-season snaps with the Lions in 2024, joins a crowded Titans QB room that currently also includes Cam Ward, Mitchell Trubisky and Will Levis. The 2023 third-rounder adds a dual-threat presence to the group, and his addition could foreshadow the team moving on from Levis down the road.

Hendon Hooker: Cut from Carolina's practice squad
The Panthers cut Hooker from the practice squad Tuesday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official site reports.
Hooker joined the Panthers' practice squad in late August after being waived by the Lions at the end of training camp. He was elevated to the Panthers' active roster for their Week 8 clash against the Bills to serve as Andy Dalton's backup due to Bryce Young being sidelined with an ankle injury. With Young fully healthy and Dalton and Mike White also on the active roster, the Panthers are no longer in need of Hooker's services, but the 2023 third-rounder should garner interest from teams looking to add a scout team quarterback.
