Austin Hooper to Begin Camp on PUP List

Saturday, July 19, 8:48 PM

New England Patriots tight end Austin Hooper (undisclosed) was placed on the active/Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday. He won't practice to begin training camp, although he is eligible once medically cleared. The 30-year-old has appeared in 139 regular-season games for the Falcons, Browns, Titans, Raiders, and Patriots since entering the NFL in 2016, amassing 409 catches for 4,178 yards and 28 touchdowns. Hooper is listed behind Hunter Henry on the depth chart. That likely won't change unless Henry goes down with an injury. Even then, Hooper won't be considered a trustworthy fantasy option. With that in mind, he's not expected to see attention from managers in any fantasy format during drafts heading into the 2025 campaign.

Dawson Knox Misses Practice With Hamstring Injury

Wednesday, July 23, 2:46 PM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (hamstring) was absent from Wednesday's practice. Bills head coach Sean McDermott declined to offer a timetable for his return, saying the team is taking it "one day at a time." The 28-year-old was placed on the active/non-football injury list on Tuesday, but can be activated anytime. Knox appeared in 16 games last season (13 starts), totaling 311 receiving yards on 22 catches and scoring once. With Dalton Kincaid continuing to emerge as a featured weapon in Buffalo's offense, Knox will need to make the most of his reps once healthy to maintain a significant role in 2025.
