Bills' Amani Hooker: Making Bills debut in Week 10
Head coach Joe Brady confirmed Friday that Hooker will play Sunday against the Jets, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Hooker was one of several players who changed teams before Tuesday's trade deadline, with the Titans sending the veteran safety and a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Bills in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick. Hooker's addition bolsters a Bills defense that ranks 29th in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (238.8) this season. It's unclear whether he'll start alongside Cole Bishop immediately or operate in a rotational role in the secondary in his Bills debut.

Bills' Amani Hooker: Lands in Buffalo
The Bills acquired Hooker and a 2027 fifth-round pick from the Titans on Tuesday in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
As he moves on to Buffalo following a seven-plus-season run in Tennessee, Hooker should immediately step into a starting role at safety alongside Cole Bishop. The Bills had previously been leaning on Damar Hamlin and the since-released C.J. Gardner-Johnson to fill snaps at that spot in the secondary, but Hooker is expected to provide a notable upgrade. Through seven appearances with Tennessee this season, Hooker had recorded a career-high-tying five interceptions to go with 52 tackles.

Titans' Amani Hooker: Tallies five stops in Week 7 loss
Hooker posted five tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 27-24 loss to Cleveland.
Sunday was the fourth time this season that Hooker played every single defensive snap, although his five stops were his lowest of the 2026 campaign. The veteran safety is up to 46 tackles (29 solo) and three pass defenses (including two interceptions) through six regular-season games, and he's second on the Titans in total stops behind rookie linebacker Anthony Hill (68).

Titans' Amani Hooker: Picks off Jones in Week 6 win
Hooker logged 13 tackles (seven solo) and one interception during the Titans' 26-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.
The Titans captured their first win of the season Sunday thanks largely to their defense and special teams. Hooker did his part with a game-high 13 combined tackles, and he made a toe-tap sideline interception off Daniel Jones late in the first quarter that stopped the Colts' red zone drive in its tracks. Hooker is up to 41 tackles (27 solo) and three pass defenses (including two interceptions) across five regular-season games and is on track to crack the tackling century mark for the first time in his eight-year NFL career.

Titans' Amani Hooker: Ready for Sunday
Hooker (concussion) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts.
Hooker has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and is all set to suit up for Sunday's game. The starting safety missed the Titans' Week 5 loss to the Texans due to the injury but is all set to return to taking the majority of snaps for the team's defense.

Titans' Amani Hooker: Logs full practice Thursday
Hooker (concussion) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
Hooker was sidelined in Week 5 versus the Texans because of a concussion he suffered back in Week 4 at Baltimore, but it looks like he's making good progress towards returning to game action. With that said, if he hasn't gotten it already, he'll still need to obtain clearance from an independent neurologist before exiting league concussion protocol and getting the okay to play again.

Titans' Amani Hooker: Limited to start Week 6 prep
Hooker (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Hooker did not participate in a single Week 5 prep session as he dealt with a concussion sustained against the Ravens in the Titans' Week 4 loss. The strong safety's upgrade to limited participation to start the week is a strong sign that he should be able to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before the team's Week 6 showdown with the Colts.
