Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker suffered a concussion in the team’s preseason opener against the New York Giants. After a dicey initial prognosis from head coach Dan Campbell about Hooker’s availability for Saturday’s preseason matchup in Kansas City, it now appears Hooker could play.
In an appearance on 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit, Campbell indicated that Hooker is trending toward a return and could appear in the second preseason game.
Hooker was in uniform and running the third-team offense in Wednesday’s morning practice session. That would indicate that Hooker has progressed through the concussion protocol.
The Lions still have Jake Fromm, signed earlier this week as a supplemental camp arm.
