Malik Hooker Is Back on the Practice Field

In April, Indianapolis Colts safety Malik Hooker told reporters he was doing everything in his power to accelerate his rehab from a torn ACL suffered last October.cheap nike nfl jerseys wholesale

“Right now, it’s just crucial for me to get in there and just try to work as hard as I can to get healthy for the team,” Hooker said. “So, I just pretty much just do whatever’s asked of me and try to do a little extra so that if I can, try to move the process up.”cheap nfl nike jerseys china

The 22-year-old safety has continued to progress.

As Andrew Walker of the team’s official website noted, Hooker posted a video Tuesday of himself working out and cutting on the turf at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center. It’s the first time we’ve seen the 15th overall pick in the 2017 draft in cleats since that fateful Week 7 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.nfl nike jersey cheap

At the time of his injury, Hooker had been playing as advertised. The ball-hawking safety had snagged three interceptions in his first seven games and was an early front-runner for Defensive Rookie of the Year honors.

There is not a definitive timetable for Hooker’s return to game action, and one video snippet of the youngster doesn’t change that.

Seeing Hooker backpedaling and making cuts on the field with ease, however, is good news for a defense that badly needs its best playmaker in the secondary if Indy is going to improve on its 30th-ranked defense from last season. cheap nike nfl jersey
