Hooker (hip) will not play Sunday against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker was originally listed as questionable and was considered a game-time decision, but the Colts seemingly didn't need to wait until Sunday to rule him out. Mike Hitchell will likely pick up the slack in Hooker's absence.

Hooker (hip) is questionable and will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Titans, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker played through the hip issue last week, though it's worth noting he avoided an injury designation and was in better shape heading into the game. By contrast the 22-year-old did not practice this week, making his availability for Sunday truly a toss up. Mike Mitchell -- assuming he plays despite a calf injury -- would likely be the largest beneficiary should Hooker be sidelined.

Hooker did not practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker has been nursing a lingering hip issue since Week 7. The 2017 first-round pick was able to suit up during Sunday's win over the Jaguars and play 75 defensive snaps, but still appears to be nursing the injury. The extent of Hooker's participation in practice as the week continues should illuminate his chances of playing against the Titans in Week 11.

Hooker recorded four tackles and one fumble recovery during Sunday's victory over Jacksonville.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker's production has been all over the map this season, but it's fair to wonder if a combination of hip and back injuries have played a part in his down weeks. The 2017 first-rounder is nonetheless good for the vast majority of snaps at free safety so long as he remains healthy.

Hooker (hip) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker will suit up for the first time since Week 7, and finally appears to have recovered from a lingering hip issue. The 2017 first-round pick will attempt to contain Blake Bortles and the Jaguars on Sunday.

Hooker (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker missed Indianapolis' win over the Raiders in Week 8 due to a lingering hip injury, and appears to have been unable to fully recovery during the team's bye. If the second-year pro is unable to suit up against the Jaguars on Sunday, Corey Moore would once again slot into the starting lineup.

Hooker (hip) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker will miss his first game of the season due to a lingering hip issue. As long as the 2017 first-round pick remains sidelined, expect Corey Moore to serve as Indianapolis' starting free safety.

Hooker (hip) did not practice Wednesday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker has been dealing with a lingering hip issue since Week 5, but has not missed any game time due to the injury. The 2017 first-round pick's injury status nonetheless warrants monitoring closely, as his status for Sunday's game against the Raiders appears to be in question.

Hooker (back) practiced without limitations Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker didn't practice Wednesday, but full participation gives him a good chance to play Sunday versus the Jets. Keep an eye on his practice status Friday to see if he'll be ready to go. The Colts will need him help cover the Jets' Robby Anderson, who got behind the Broncos' defense twice in Week 5 for long touchdowns.

Hooker had 12 tackles (four solo) in Thursday's loss to New England.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker had only 13 tackles through Week 4, but ended up nearly doubling that total against the Patriots. The Colts were missing four defensive starters Thursday, helping lead to the bigger workload for the 22-year-old.
