Hendon Hooker, a third-round pick of the Detroit Lions, is not expected to play this season while he rehabs a torn ACL.

"Really, this is a redshirt year for him," Dan Campbell told Chris Long on the Green Light Podcast. "He's got to get this leg right first, and then he'll learn under Jared [Goff], and then let's see what happens. If he can eventually become your two or maybe down the road, later on, it's more than that, but it's going to be a long time."

Hooker, who injured his left knee in a Nov. 19 game against South Carolina, is doing low-gravity running and recently resumed taking dropbacks. He has said he is not putting a timetable on his return.
