Atlanta Falcons WR Devin Hester (toe) could be fully recovered from toe surgery prior to training camp, according to head coach Dan Quinn, and Quinn said he is inclined to allow Hester to try to return kicks out of the end zone. ‘There are special players like Dev and other returners around the league, they’ll still get green-lighted,’ Quinn said. ‘Here’s a guy who is on the club for this unique reason.’
