FLOWERY BRANCH,Wholesale Jerseys, Ga. (AP) — It will be at least another week before linebacker Brooks Reed debuts with the Atlanta Falcons.
"If he's back, we'll know how to feature him and get him rocking," Quinn said. "He brings toughness and an attitude we love."
He was the team's top acquisition in free agency, signing a five-year contract guaranteeing $9 million, but a groin injury has sidelined him since the third preseason game.
Reed practiced Friday for the second straight day in a limited capacity, and coach Dan Quinn said the Falcons won't rush his return.
Hester has yet to play this season because of turf toe and still isn't able to cut up field without nagging pain. Weems, a former Pro Bowl pick, has averaged 20 yards a return on four kickoffs and 9.3 yards on three punt returns.
Devonta Freeman will start at running back,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, and Eric Weems will handle kickoff and punt returns as Hester's replacement. Neither is considered a big dropoff.
Reed underwent a third surgery on his groin earlier this month. Quinn hopes Reed returns for next week's home game against Houston, his former team.
Freeman began training camp as the No. 1 running back with Coleman, a third-round draft pick from Indiana, at No. 2. Both were slowed by hamstring injuries last month |
