Hooker is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker was a full participant in Friday's practice, and appears to have recovered from his minor hip injury. All signs point toward the second-year safety suiting up for Indianapolis' Week 4 tilt against Houston.

Hooker (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker continues to recover from a hip injury, seemingly sustained during the Colts' Week 3 tilt against the Eagles. It remains unclear whether Hooker will suit up for Sunday's game against the Texans, but if the second-year safety remains sidelined for any amount of time George Odum would slot in as Indianapolis' starting free safety.

Hooker did not practice Wednesday due to a hip injury.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker didn't have an obvious injury during Sunday's game against the Eagles, playing 82 defensive snaps in the game. It's unclear if the issue will put his availability in danger for Sunday's game against the Texans, but the second-year safety's progress throughout the week should serve as a good indicator.

Hooker had four total tackles while playing 41 of the defense's 56 snaps in Sunday's loss at the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker returned as the starting free safety after his rookie season ended early due to a torn ACL and MCL. Hooker didn't show any of his playmaking ability (three INTs in seven games), but he should get plenty of opportunities with an Indy defense that looks set to struggle to get off the field.

Hooker recorded a tackle and a pass defense in Saturday's 23-17 preseason victory over San Francisco, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker missed the first two preseason games while recovering from a torn ACL and MCL. Though he didn't put up eye popping numbers in his limited debut, his appearance on the field is a good sign for his health with the regular season approaching. He's expected to start at safety alongside Clayton Geathers come the team's Week 1 matchup with the Bengals.

The Colts expect Hooker (knee) to play in Saturday's exhibition game against the 49ers, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

EDGE Analysis

The plan is for Hooker to play assuming he avoids any setbacks heading into the contest. He just began participating in full-team drills for the first time since tearing his ACL and MCL last October, so he still figures to be limited if he does indeed suit up. The 22-year-old projects as the Week 1 starter at free safety should his health allow.

Hooker (knee) was ruled out for Monday's preseason game against Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker participated in full-team drills Saturday for the first time since tearing his ACL and MCL last October, and it's unsurprising to see the Colts remain cautious. Hopefully the 22-year-old will continue to ramp up his work in practice over the coming weeks in preparation for Week 1, but there's no guarantee the 2017 first-round pick makes an appearance in the remaining preseason games.

Hooker (knee) participated in full-team drills during Saturday's practice, Stephen Holder of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the Colts weren't practicing in full pads, Hooker's participation in team drills is still significant considering it marks the first time he's done so since tearing his ACL midway through the 2017 season. However, it still isn't clear if Hooker will be allowed to participate in any preseason games in advance of Week 1.

Hooker (knee) was activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list Thursday, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker was taken 15th overall by Indianapolis in the 2017 draft but missed much of his rookie season due to a knee injury in October. Likely a starter when healthy, Hooker is eligible to practice as early as Friday but the team may choose to ease him into sessions, limiting him early on.

General manager Chris Ballard said Hooker (knee) will begin training camp on the team's Physically Unable to Perform list, Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ballard indicated that Hooker could be back on the field as soon as mid-August, though it's possible that the safety's absence could extend into the preseason. With Clayton Geathers (knee) also working his way back from injury, T.J. Green or Ronald Martin are the favorites to open training camp with the first-team defense.
