Falcons designate Hayden Hurst for return from IR, cut ties with Dustin Colquitt

The Falcons appear to be gearing up to get back Hayden Hurst and appear content to roll on with Thomas Morstead as their punter, as they made a couple of roster moves that suggest just that.

The team announced that they’ve waived tight end Parker Hesse, who had been filling in and playing about 10-20 snaps per game while Hayden Hurst was on short-term injured reserve. Hesse will likely wind up back on the practice squad, as he is one of Arthur Smith’s guys dating back to Tennessee and did a fine job in a reserve role for Atlanta when he got an opportunity this season.
