Even arguably the best special teams returner of all-time needs practice.
Devin Hester has fumbled four times in six games with the Ravens this year, and it’s leading to questions about whether he’s still trustworthy enough to keep sending back to field kicks. After all, the most important job of a returner is to secure the ball.
This week, Hester and the Ravens said the issue has been his health, which they are hoping will clear up with extra rest over the bye.
“I don’t feel like myself,” Hester said. “It’s tough.”
Hester said he tweaked his hamstring in Cleveland in Week 2.
