Patriots' Austin Hooper: Dressed for preseason finale

Hooper (undisclosed) is in uniform for Sunday's preseason game against the Commanders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Hooper is healthy enough to play after suffering an injury in practice last Saturday and subsequently missing some practice time. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Hunter Henry (undisclosed) remains unavailable for Sunday's preseason finale, and his status for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Bengals remains up in the air. While Hooper's in uniform Sunday, he may not actually take the field, instead ceding playing time to rookie seventh-round pick Jaheim Bell, who is battling to make the team.
