Ravens Release Veteran Returner Devin Hester

The Ravens have waived veteran special teams returner Devin Hester Sr. after he made another mistake in Monday night’s 30-23 loss to the New England Patriots.

Hester, 34, has not fielded the ball confidently on many occasions this season, and the latest gaffe led to two points for the Patriots.

After the Ravens defense held the Patriots to a second straight three-and-out to start the game, the Patriots punted to Hester. He had time to make a fair catch, but moved out of the way, allowing the ball to bounce and roll to the 1-yard line.

The Ravens tried to run the ball off their goal line, but running back Kenneth Dixon was dropped in the end zone for a safety.
