  • Falcons' Austin Hooper: Two catches in win

    Hooper caught both of his targets for 21 yards in the Falcons' 29-20 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

    Hooper played 29 offensive snaps and four special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The No. 3 tight end was utilized as a blocker and pass catcher but was outshone by No. 4 option Nick Muse, who caught a key touchdown as the team took down the undefeated 49ers.

  • Falcons' Austin Hooper: Mostly uninvolved in blowout win

    Hooper caught his only target for nine yards during Monday's 45-24 win at New Orleans.

    The Falcons found little resistance on the ground in Week 4, rushing for 205 yards and five touchdowns as a team. This encouraged them to use their most capable blockers at tight end, and blocking specialist Nick Muse actually played more offensive snaps (17) than Hooper (12) for the first time this season. Hooper will hope to get more usage in a Week 5 matchup versus the Ravens.

  • Falcons' Austin Hooper: Hauls in touchdown pass in TNF win

    Hooper caught both of his targets for 11 yards and a touchdown during Atlanta's 35-14 win over Green Bay on Thursday.

    Hooper was on the field for 16 of the Falcons' 71 offensive snaps, which was behind fellow tight ends Charlie Woerner (43), Kyle Pitts (42) and Nick Muse (17). However, unlike those three tight ends, Hooper contributed to the scoreboard by hauling in a five-yard touchdown pass from Michael Penix with just over a minute left to play in the second quarter. Hooper has a 4-31-1 receiving line (on six targets) through the first three games of the regular season.

  • Falcons' Austin Hooper: Records two catches in loss

    Hooper caught two of his four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Panthers.

    Hooper's target tally was fairly robust considering his role as the No. 3 tight end. The 31-year-old saw the second-most targets for the Falcons on Sunday, finishing behind only wide receiver Drake London. For as long as either Cooper Rush or Jack Strand is at the helm of the offense, Hooper's large catch radius and experience could keep netting him consistent attention and production.

  • Falcons' Austin Hooper: Signing one-year deal with Falcons

    Hooper agreed on a one-year, $3.25 million contract with the Falcons on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Hooper's signing is in line to become official Wednesday, when the new league year begins. The journeyman tight end spent his first four NFL seasons with the Falcons, who drafted him in the third round in 2016. Hooper has played for five NFL teams, most recently recording 21 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns in 16 regular-season games with the Patriots in 2025. If the Falcons retain pending free agent Kyle Pitts as expected, Hooper would slot in as his top backup.
