Hooper caught one pass for seven yards on three targets in Thursday's preseason game against the Browns.
Jacob Tamme got the start and caught his only target for a nine-yard gain, with Levine Toilolo later adding a 13-yard reception (on two targets). While clearly possessing the highest long-term ceiling of the bunch, Hooper hasn't made much of a bid for the starting role through the first two weeks of the preseason. This could end up being a timeshare, and the Atlanta offense probably won't be too friendly to tight ends.
