As previously discussed on GH, Hendon Hooker suffered a concussion during the Lions preseason contest against the New York Giants. Head coach Dan Campbell said he wasn’t sure how long Hooker would be in the concession protocol:
“Yeah, he got a concussion, so he’s obviously in the protocol and he’ll be evaluated. I don’t know how long it’s going to be. I know he got his bell rung, so that’s what that was. Obviously, we would have loved to have gotten more time with him, but that’s one of those things that happens. One of his runs there he must have gotten it.”
Hooker missed most of last season, recovering from an ACL injury he sustained in college at Tennessee in 2022.
