Austin Hooper - Page 12 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Has off-day Sunday Hooper dropped at least three passes during Cleveland's two-minute drills Sunday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Quarterback Baker Mayfield was unable to score points on two drives with the first-team offense against the second-team defense, partly due to Hooper's inability to hold on to passes. Hooper also had a pass broken up in 1-on-1 drills by a third-string cornerback. The Mayfield-Hooper combination worked out together during the offseason, and their chemistry should improve. Hooper remains the top tight end, ahead of David Njoku and Harrison Bryant.

Returns from illness Hooper (illness) returned to practice Friday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hooper was out for only one or two days. He was disappointing for fantasy managers last season, unable to overcome the challenge of joining a new team with a new coaching staff in a year without spring practices or preseason games. However, Hooper had a better year from the Browns' standpoint, with competent blocking helping the team's prolific rushing attack and a late flurry of receiving production contributing to a playoff appearance. He's locked in as a starter for the second season of a four-year, $42 million contract, but there's no guarantee of improvement on his 2020 average of 5.4 targets per game, considering the Browns also have David Njoku and Harrison Bryant at tight end, not to mention WR Odell Beckham returning from an ACL tear. On the other hand, Hooper does have plenty of room to improve his efficiency after posting career lows for both catch rate (65.7 percent) and yards per target (6.2) last season. He had a 77.3 percent catch rate and 8.1 YPT in four years with the Falcons.

Misses Wednesday's session Hooper didn't participate in practice Wednesday due to illness, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

Impact There's been little buzz out of Browns camp regarding the team's tight ends, but the depth chart should remain the same entering the 2021 season. Hooper will top the chart, followed by Harrison Bryant and David Njoku, in that order.

Secures TD in playoff win Hooper caught seven of his 11 targets for 46 yards and a touchdown during Sunday night's 48-37 wild-card win against the Steelers.

Impact Hooper notched a seven-yard TD catch with 34 seconds remaining in the second quarter to push Cleveland's lead back to four possessions before the halftime break. Baker Mayfield looked the tight end's way again in a key third-down goal-line situation in the fourth quarter, but Steelers defensive back Terrell Edmunds disrupted the pass to cause an incompletion. After registering just one TD over his first eight games as a Brown, Hooper has scored in four of six appearances heading into a divisional-round matchup against Kansas City. The two-time Pro Bowler has established himself as a go-to guy for Mayfield, with a team-high 11 targets in the wild-card round and a total of 37 passing-game looks since Week 15.

Scores fourth TD Hooper caught four of five targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Hooper, who scored for the third time in five weeks, now has four touchdowns for the season. He's been a big part of the passing attack the last three weeks, catching 17 of 26 targets for 149 yards and two TDs during that span. With the win, the Browns clinched a playoff spot, and Hooper is on a roll leading up to next week's wild-card round playoff game against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

Leading receiver in Week 16 loss Hooper caught seven of 15 targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Jets.

Impact Hooper caught a ball on the game's first play, foreshadowing his heavy involvement against a Jets defense that has been the league's most generous to opposing tight ends. The veteran tight end led the Browns in targets, catches and receiving yards as the team played without its top four wide receivers due to a late-week COVID-19 outbreak. Hooper's unlikely to find as much success in Week 17 against the stingy Steelers defense, especially if he slides back down in the pecking order due to the return of some sidelined receiving options.
