This article was originally published on www.si.com/nfl/lions as What Is Best-Case Scenario For Hendon Hooker?. The Detroit Lions are planning to give backup quarterback Hendon Hooker more reps this week, which likely means he is line to play the entire game against the Houston Texans.

Hooker didn't get to finish the first half, while Allen led all three scoring drives with the Lions leading 17-10 when the exhibition was suspended in Atlanta.

The Hendon Hooker experiment is not working out for the Detroit Lions. The former third-round pick is coming off another struggle in a preseason game. This time, he got benched midway through the second quarter after fumbling twice and throwing for just 38 yards.
