Falcons wide receiver Devin Hester (hamstring) is officially questionable for Sunday’s game vs. Chicago, the team said Friday.
However, Hester was seen practicing on Friday, according to Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com. Hester did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
For the 31-year-old Hester, Sunday’s game would be his first chance to face the Bears, the club for whom he played for eight seasons (2006-2013).
Hester has fit in well with Atlanta. In five games with the Falcons, he has caught 14 passes for 212 yards and a touchdown. He has also rushed for a touchdown and returned a punt for a score.
The Falcons also announced left guard Justin Blalock (back) is questionable for Sunday. However, McClure reports Blalock was practicing on Friday. He also worked out on Wednesday and Thursday.
While Bialock and Hester are questionable, the Falcons have declared receiver Harry Douglas out of Sunday’s game with a foot injury.
