Hooker (foot) is officially active for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker turned in full practice time in Friday's session, so this news isn't quite surprising. The Ohio State product is expected to assume his usual starting role as the team's starting free safety for Week 14 now that he's healthy.

Hooker (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker turned in a limited practice Wednesday, sat out Thursday, and put in a full session Friday. The 23-year-old has dealt with knee issues for much of the season, but his current foot problem surfaced this week.

Hooker recorded seven tackles (two solo) in Thursday's 20-17 loss to the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker battled a knee injury during the short practice week, but he looked anything but bothered as he achieved a season high in stops. The former first-rounder also had a key tackle on Duke Johnson in the third quarter that forced the Texans to settle for a field goal. Hooker now has 33 tackles, two pass breakups and an interception through eight games.

Hooker did not participate in Thursday's practice due to a knee injury.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker underwent surgery to trim his meniscus Sept. 24, and he's received periodic days off from practice since retaking the field Week 8. It remains to be seen whether his current absence signifies anything more than rep management to maintain his health. If he's able to suit up against the Jaguars on Sunday, Hooker stands to play his usual every-down role.

Hooker (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker was unable to practice in any capacity Wednesday, but he now appears to have shed his knee issue. Barring any setbacks, the third-year pro looks primed for his usual starting role versus the Dolphins on Sunday.

Hooker (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker was held out of last Friday's practice but was active for this past Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He logged 56 of a possible 63 snaps (89 percent) in the contest and made five tackles. Hooker was an every-snap player last season, so it appears the Colts are holding him back slightly to help maintain his health. The third-year pro may be on a similar track for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Hooker (knee) is officially listed as active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
The 2017 first-round pick was held out entirely of Friday's practice session, so the fact that he's playing is a big positive for the defense. Now that he's officially healthy, expect Hooker to assume his usual role as the team's starting free safety for Week 9.

Hooker (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker practiced in full Wednesday, but he was then limited Thursday and held out entirely during Friday's session. It remains to be seen whether the starting safety suffered a setback in his recovery or if his lack of practice is simply a result of rep management.

Hooker (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Hooker told reporters he would be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Broncos, and his full-speed practice puts him on track to suit up for the first time since Week 3. The third-year pro will likely fill in as a nearly every-snap player against a Broncos team that will have a new look without Emmanuel Sanders (to 49ers) in the fold.
