Hester is dealing with cramps and is questionable to return to Thursday's game against Tampa Bay.
Analysis:
Hester limped off the field shortly before halftime with an injury that didn't appear to involve any contact. The diagnosis indicates that he has a pretty good chance to return, but the Falcons probably won't be inclined to take any chances with a 35-0 lead at the half. That said, the team is already without Roddy White (hamstring), and Harry Douglas is questionable to return after suffering a foot injury. If neither Hester nor Douglas is able to return, Eric Weems and Courtney Roby will see more snaps. Hester made his presence felt before he started cramping up, scoring one touchdown on an end-around and another on a punt return.
