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.
