Hooper is slated to start Sunday against the Eagles, since teammate Jacob Tamme (shoulder) will miss a third straight game, ESPN's Vaughn McClure reports.
Hooper will start ahead of fellow tight ends Levine Toilolo and Joshua Perkins once again this weekend. In two starts since Tamme's absence, Hooper has recorded at least three catches on five targets for 40 yards in both games, and he scored his second career touchdown last time out.
