A Hendon Hooker return to the Detroit Lions this offseason was a long shot. The team moved on from the former third-round pick last preseason when he lost the backup job to Kyle Allen.
Any lingering hope of a return, though, ended Wednesday.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Hooker is signing a contract to join the Tennessee Titans.
Hooker is joining the Titans after spending the 2025 campaign with the Carolina Panthers and New York Jets. The quarterback mostly served as a practice squad player for both teams.
Hooker last appeared in the NFL regular season during 2024 for the Lions. He completed six of nine passes for 62 yards.
The Lions selected the signal-caller at No. 68 overall in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
