Hooker had four total tackles and his second interception of the season in Sunday's win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker has two interceptions in his first two career starts at safety. He'll likely see increased tackle totals as he's on the field for almost every play on defense (76 of 77 snaps on Sunday).

Hooker had two total tackles and an interception in Sunday's loss to Arizona.

Hooker will start Sunday against the Cardinals, Zak Keefer of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Darius Butler (hamstring) received the start in Week 1, but with Butler out, Hooker will be leaned on by the Colts. Hooker recorded four tackles (three solo) in his first NFL experience, and the 2017 first-round pick appears ready for the task. Still, he hasn't proven enough to be summoned in fantasy leagues, especially because he's positioned in a flaky defense.

Hooker had four total tackles in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker came off the bench in his NFL debut but played 31 snaps on defense. He fared well in his debut despite the defense's struggles and his role should continue to grow.

Hooker has been practicing with the first team for two weeks and can play as much as needed Sunday against the Rams, Zak Keefer of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2017 first-round pick could take a good chunk of snaps from fellow safety, Darius Butler. However, it isn't clear how much the Colts plan on using Hooker, and it wouldn't be wise to summon him in fantasy until that's squared away.

EDGE Analysis

Hooker (hamstring) was activated from the preseason PUP list, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker underwent labrum and core-muscle surgeries in January and didn't participate in any of the team's offseason practices. He was ready to practice but suffered a hamstring injury on his first day of trainig camp. If he can be fully involved in training camp, he'll likely be the frontrunner for a starting role at safety.

Hooker tweaked his hamstring during a conditioning test Monday and will open training camp on the Colts' PUP list, Kevin Bowen of the Colts' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Colts had initially expected Hooker to be good to go for camp after he made a full recovery from offseason labrum and core-muscle surgeries, but it's an unrelated setback that will confine him to the sidelines, at least for the team's first few practices. At this time, the Colts haven't provided any indication that Hooker's injury is anything that will jeopardize the rookie's availability for the start of the regular season, but the prospect of missing out on extended reps in his first NFL training camp could hurt his chances of winning a starting role in Week 1.
