Detroit Lions' Rookie QB Hendon Hooker Returns to Practice

Hooker's return starts a 21-day window for the Lions to decide his status, following a year-long recovery from a knee injury.

Hendon Hooker, the Detroit Lions' rookie quarterback, has begun practicing with the team for the first time, starting a 21-day window for the team to decide whether to activate him or keep him on injured reserve.
Hooker, who was drafted in the third round by the Lions, is returning to the field a little over a year after tearing a ligament in his left knee.
Before his injury, Hooker had a successful career at Tennessee, breaking Peyton Manning’s school record by completing 68.8% of his passes and throwing 58 touchdown passes and five interceptions in two years.
The Lions, currently leading the NFC North with an 8-3 record, have veterans Jared Goff and Teddy Bridgewater as their top two quarterbacks.
The team plays at New Orleans (5-6) on Sunday.
