Hooper (knee) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Hooper's absence shouldn't come as a surprise to fantasy players, given that head coach Dan Quinn labeled the tight end a "longshot" to play Sunday against the Panthers. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier this week that Hooper could be sidelined for about a month, so there may be absences in the tight end's future beyond Week 11.
