Aug 9, 2015

Falcons returner/wide receiver Devin Hester was held out of practice with a “short-term” toe injury on Sunday.

“We anticipate him being back either (Monday) or at the latest, the following day,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said on Sunday.

Safety Charles Godfrey, who suffered a cut on his forehead and nose at the Friday Night Lights practice at Buford High School, was back at practice.

Linebacker Brooks Reed, who expected back this week, worked with the trainers along with running backs Devonta Freeman (hamstring), Tevin Coleman (hamstring) and defensive end Cliff Matthews (ankle).
