Hooper was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Hooper's knee issue comes as a mild surprise given that there weren't any reports of an injury coming out of last week's loss to the Eagles. Should he recover from the setback in time to play Sunday against the Panthers, Hooper could struggle to see much work in the passing game. The Panthers put the clamps on Dallas' short-passing game in the season opener, limiting starting tight end Geoff Swaim to 18 receiving yards.
