BOCA RATON, Fla. – Falcons coach Dan Quinn has been monitoring the recovery from foot surgery of returner Devin Hester with great interest.
If one of the game’s greatest returners can recover, Quinn knows he’ll have a special weapon to help the Falcons combat the new touchback rule that will allow the ball to come out to the 25-yard line.
“He had the surgery,” Quinn told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution after his media session at the league meetings. “He’s rehabbing down in Orlando. … We check in just to make sure that the rehab is going good, but we don’t have anything past that.
