Hendon Hooker News: Joins Panthers' practice squad

Carolina signed Hooker to the practice squad Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Hooker was waived by Detroit on Monday, and the 2023 third-round pick will now get a chance to restart his development with the Panthers as an reserve option at quarterback on the practice squad, behind starter Bryce Young and backup Andy Dalton. He could operate as Carolina's emergency No. 3 quarterback this season.
