Now, Hooker will provide the Jets with emergency depth behind Brady Cook, Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee).

Hendon Hooker: Cut from Carolina's practice squad
The Panthers cut Hooker from the practice squad Tuesday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official site reports.
Hooker joined the Panthers' practice squad in late August after being waived by the Lions at the end of training camp. He was elevated to the Panthers' active roster for their Week 8 clash against the Bills to serve as Andy Dalton's backup due to Bryce Young being sidelined with an ankle injury. With Young fully healthy and Dalton and Mike White also on the active roster, the Panthers are no longer in need of Hooker's services, but the 2023 third-rounder should garner interest from teams looking to add a scout team quarterback.

Hendon Hooker: Time up with Detroit
The Lions waived Hooker on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Hooker, a 2023 third-round pick, entered training camp in competition with Kyle Allen for the No. 2 quarterback gig behind starter Jared Goff, but he ultimately couldn't secure a spot on the 53-man roster. Coach Dan Campbell said after Saturday's 26-7 preseason loss to the Texans, in which Hooker completed six of 11 passes for 70 yards and one interception, that a "change of scenery" could benefit the young signal-caller, per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic. Hooker now will look to secure, and make the most of, an opportunity elsewhere in the league, likely on a practice squad.

Lions' Hendon Hooker: No. 2 job slipping away
Hooker completed six of 11 passes for 70 yards and an interception in Saturday's 26-7 preseason loss to the Texans. He added 25 yards on his only carry.
While it was encouraging to see him make a big play with his legs, Hooker was once again out-performed through the air by Kyle Allen, who got the start completed all five of his passes and hit Isaac TeSlaa for a 33-yard TD. Hooker headed into training camp the favorite to take over the No. 2 QB job behind Jared Goff, but he may have squandered the opportunity and let Allen leapfrog him on the depth chart.

Lions' Hendon Hooker: Fumbles twice in preseason start
Hooker completed seven of 10 pass attempts for 38 yards while gaining 27 yards and losing two fumbles on three rushing attempts in Friday's preseason game against the Falcons.
Hooker got the nod under center for the Lions after struggling mightily against the Chargers in the Hall of Fame Game on July 31. The 2023 third-round pick didn't fare much better against Atlanta, coughing up the football on Detroit's opening drives in the first and second quarters. Fellow backup Kyle Allen (120 yards and two touchdowns) took over in the second half and outperformed Hooker yet again, giving the veteran signal-caller an early lead in the competition to be starter Jared Goff's primary backup in 2025.

Lions' Hendon Hooker: Starting second preseason game
Hooker will start Friday's preseason game against the Falcons, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Hooker is competing with Kyle Allen for the top backup spot behind Jared Goff, who will get the night off. Allen started and played the first half of the Hall of Fame Game against the Chargers, while Hooker mustered just 18 passing yards and an interception in the second half of that 34-7 preseason loss. Hooker will likely get the first half of Friday's game.
