Hooper caught one of his three targets for nine yards in Thursday's 14-13 preseason loss to the Eagles.
Fellow tight end Hunter Henry sat out the contest as he deals with a minor unspecified injury, but as long as he's available come Week 1, Hooper figures to work in a complementary role in the Patriots offense. In the event that Henry misses time at any point this season, however, Hooper could potentially emerge as a streaming option.
