FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Leonard Hankerson, who missed the past two games with a hamstring injury, will return to the lineup Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
Hankerson, who had been limited this week, spent the first part of Friday's practice working on goal-line routes along with quarterback Matt Ryan. He could be a primary red-zone target as the Falcons try to improve their scoring output. They've averaged just 16.8 points the past four games after starting the season averaging 32.4 points in five contests.
Ryan raved Wednesday about the possibility of having Hankerson back.
