It looks like Hendon Hooker’s time with the Detroit Lions might be coming to a close. The young quarterback, who struggled mightily during the preseason, has officially lost the backup role to Kyle Allen.

When Lions head coach Dan Campbell was questioned about Hooker's future in Detroit, his response raised eyebrows. He hinted that Hooker may be better suited for a different team, pondering the possibility of a 'change of scenery' for the third-year player.

Reflecting on Hooker's preparation, Campbell acknowledged the quarterback's hard work but noted that it hasn’t translated into effective performance on the field. "I wish Hooker — and I know he does — would have had a better outing, but you’ve got to take it with a grain of salt," Campbell explained.

Despite Hooker’s calm demeanor during games, Campbell emphasized the challenges he faced, stating that he wasn’t playing with the first-string offense. This has led many to speculate that Hooker might not be on the Lions’ roster after the upcoming cuts.

However, there may still be some hope. If Hooker clears waivers, there’s a possibility he could be re-signed to the practice squad. Yet, Campbell’s comments suggest that the Lions are inclined to let Hooker explore whether his talents could shine brighter elsewhere. The clock is ticking, and only time will tell where Hooker's journey leads next.
