FLOWERY BRANCH – The Falcons returned from their bye week and had some good health news as strong safety William Moore (groin), wide receiver Leonard Hankerson (hamstring) and linebacker Justin Durant (calf) all returned to practice on Monday.
Also, returner Devin Hester, who’s been battling a nasty turf toe injury, and was placed on injured reserve-designated to return on Oct. 6, returned to practice. He will not be eligible to return to the active/inactive list until the Tampa Bay game on Dec. 6.
Cornerback Robert Alford (groin) and safety Robenson Therezie (hamstring) were the only players without helmets and not scheduled to practice.
