Report: Seahawks signing Hester for playoffs

With their first playoff game four days away, the Seattle Seahawks are hoping to boost their special teams by signing veteran returner Devin Hester, Fox Sports has reported.

The Baltimore Ravens waived Hester last month after he struggled through injuries and showed a hesitancy to return punts.

Hester averaged 7.2 yards per punt return on the season (17th) and 24.5 yards per kickoff return.

The Seahawks have had a hole at this spot after Tyler Lockett suffered a broken leg in Week 16. J.D. McKissic and Paul Richardson handled kickoff returns last week.
