Logs limited practice Wednesday
Hooker (concussion) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hooker missed the team's Week 4 win over the Colts due to a concussion, but he appears to be making progress and could return to action in Week 5, though he'll likely have to log at least one full practice in order to do so. Through the first three weeks, Hooker totaled 12 tackles, two pass defenses and one interception while playing the majority of the Titans' defensive snaps.

Won't play against Indy
Hooker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Hooker has yet to clear concussion protocol and will need to do so before the Titans travel to Washington in Week 5 to have a chance to play in that game. In the meantime, Lonnie Johnson will likely fill in at strong safety.

Analysis: Hooker missed practice for a second straight day as he works to clear through concussion protocols. If he is able to get clearance, he should take the field Sunday against the Colts. However, if he is unable to play, Lonnie Johnson will likely draw the start at strong safety.

Inks three-year extension
The Titans signed Hooker to a three-year, $33 million contract extension Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hooker was drafted by the Titans in the fourth round of the 2019 draft and has racked up 133 tackles, 12 pass defenses and five interceptions across 44 appearances during his first three years in the NFL. The 24-year-old became a full-time starter last year for the first time in his career and appears to be the safety of the future in Tennessee after signing an extension that keeps him locked in through the 2025 campaign.

Analysis: Hooker missed Week 7 as well as Wednesday's practice before putting in limited appearances to close out the week. The 23-year-old has missed all but two games this season but should return to his starting spot at strong safety.

Not facing Chiefs
Hooker (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Hooker has struggled with injuries all season long and has made just two appearances thus far, logging 97 snaps while racking up 15 tackles (12 solo) and one forced fumble. His absence means Dane Cruikshank will play a bigger role.

Added to active roster
Hooker (foot) has been activated from injured reserve and added to the 53-man roster Monday, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.
Analysis: Hooker, who was designated to return from injured reserve on Oct. 13, will be available for the Titans during their Monday night clash with the Bills. The 23-year-old was Tennessee's Week 1 starter and will likely assume that role once again now that he is healthy and back with the squad.

Strong start to camp
Hooker has had a strong start to camp and is expected to take on an increased role this season, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Hooker is expected to start as the team's strong safety after Kenny Vaccaro was released during the offseason. He's taken to the role well early in camp and drew strong reviews for his play Friday. In addition to intercepting a pass, Hooker also played the run well and was active in coverage against tight ends. Hooker played 446 snaps on the defensive side of the ball in 2020 and figures to easily surpass that mark this season.

Moves up depth chart
Hooker is expected to move into a starting role in 2021 after the Titans released fellow safety Kenny Vaccaro on Wednesday, PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Analysis: Hooker started the three games Vaccaro missed last season but otherwise served as the Titans' third safety. The 2019 fourth-round pick made the most of his limited opportunities in his second season, recording 51 tackles, eight pass defenses and four interceptions across only 468 defensive snaps. That production bodes well for Hooker's IDP value in 2021, though fellow Titans safety Kevin Byard (four straight seasons with 16 starts and 84 or more tackles) is a far more reliable choice.

Picks off four passes
Hooker recorded 51 tackles, one tackle for loss, eight passes defensed and four interceptions across 16 games in the 2020 regular season.
Analysis: Hooker was the Titans' third safety for much of the season, though he was pressed into a bigger role in the absence of Kenny Vaccaro. As a result, he saw an increased role in his second season in the NFL and took advantage by improving his statistics across the board. Vaccaro could be cut this offseason with just a $3 million dead cap hit, meaning Hooker could step into a full-time starting role in the 2021 campaign.

Records key interception
Hooker recorded six tackles, one interception and an additional defensed pass in Week 11 against the Ravens.
Analysis: Hooker picked off Lamar Jackson late in the third quarter, ending a 25-yard drive that was approaching midfield. It was his third interception of the season. Hooker has taken on a bigger role in the Titans' defense in his second season and has 30 total tackles as well as six passes defended across 10 contests.

Appears in 16 games as rookie
Hooker recorded 19 tackles and one tackle for loss across 16 games for the Titans in 2019.
Analysis: Hooker played consistently as the backup free safety throughout his rookie campaign, working behind Kevin Byard. With Byard under contract with the Titans through the 2024 season, it's unlikely that Hooker will be able to carve out a major role in the team's secondary in the immediate future.
