Hooper's slated to work as Cleveland's unquestioned top tight end Sunday against the Ravens, as Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports that Harrison Bryant (ankle) has been ruled out.
Bryant will be joined on the sideline by both David Njoku and Stephen Carlson, who are on the reserve/COVID-19 list, leaving practice squad tight end Miller Forristall as the only healthy body at the position behind Hooper. Cleveland's depth at tight end has led to an inconsistent season for Hooper, but he won't have to worry about sharing targets in this rematch with a Ravens team that held him without a catch Week 12, when both Njoku and Bryant were healthy.
