Falcons Place WR Hester on Short-Term IR

The Atlanta Falcons today announced that they have signed safety Charles Godfrey, tight end Tony Moeaki, and have released tight end Mickey Shuler. Also, wide receiver Devin Hester will be placed on injured reserve-designated to return.

“We have decided to place Devin on short-term IR,” said Head Coach Dan Quinn. “We have been trying to treat his toe injury the best we could, and he has been doing everything in his power to get back on the field, but at this point we think this is the best plan of action. We are confident this time will let Devin get healthy and be a big contributor to this team once he is back on the field.
