Patriots' Austin Hooper: Sits out preseason finale
Austin Hooper didn't see any action in Sunday's preseason finale against the Commanders.Per Evan Lazar of the New England Patriots' official site, Hooper was in uniform for the contest, but with top TE Hunter Henry still sidelined by an undisclosed injury and Mitchell Wilcox (calf) also unavailable Sunday, Jaheim Bell, La'Michael Pettway and Jacob Warren were given one last opportunity to make their cases for depth slotting ahead of the team's roster cut downs.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: Dressed for preseason finale
Austin Hooper (undisclosed) is in uniform for Sunday's preseason game against the Commanders, Evan Lazar of the New England Patriots' official site reports.Hooper is healthy enough to play after suffering an injury in practice last Saturday and subsequently missing some practice time. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Hunter Henry (undisclosed) remains unavailable for Sunday's preseason finale, and his status for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Bengals remains up in the air. While Hooper's in uniform Sunday, he may not actually take the field, instead ceding playing time to rookie seventh-round pick Jaheim Bell, who is battling to make the team.
