Devin Hester, the most Al-Farouq Aminu Womens Jersey accomplished return man in NFL history, faces three to six months of recovery after undergoing surgery on his right big toe on Friday.The Atlanta Falcons wide receiver/return specialist, who missed the first 11 games of the 2015 season as a result of injury, had the procedure performed by famed foot surgeon Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte.Hester broke one of the two sesamoid bones, which act as a pulley for tendons. Such a bone helps the big toe move normally and provides leverage when the toe pushes off for walking and running.Hester will wear a cast for the next three months before shedding it in favor of a walking boot. After a month in the boot, hell begin the actual rehab."The surgery, they said, went pretty good, Hester told ESPN.com. "He put the sesamoid bone back in place, stitched around it, and put a little small pin in it. The ligaments should be able to heal back up.http://www.authenticclippersshop.com/authentic-11-jamal-crawford-jersey.html Hester, 33, obviously wasnt himself after initially suffering what was called a turf toe injury following the third preseason game at Miami. He was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return, but his inability to push off and cut made him functionally ineffective through the last five games of the season. Hester returned nine kickoffs for a respectable 235 yards with a long of 35 yards. He returned eight punts for 34 yards with a long of 11.He was not utilized on offense."It was just a matter of me trying to fight through it, especially those last five games, Hester said. "I knew I was hurt. They knew I was hurt. But at the same time, I felt like I could push my way through. After the season, we knew there was a good chance of having the surgery. Thats how it pretty much went.http://www.officialblazersshop.com/authentic-0-damian-lillard-jersey.html Hester is signed through next season and due to make $3 million in 2016 with cap figure of $3,833,334. Whether he passes a physical this offseason could determine his future with the team. Sixth months of recovery would give Hester enough time to be ready for training camp. If the Falcons opt to go in a different direction, it would save $3 million in cap space.Devin Hester spent just the past two seasons alongside Terry Robiskie, but the Atlanta Falcons receiver/kick returner still managed to establish a close bond with his wide receivers coach.That bond extended beyond the football field, as Hester quickly discovered."He definitely was like a father figure," Hester said of Robiskie. "He would talk to you about life. He has three boys, and I have two boys. I would ask him little small stuff on how to raise sons. When little incidents came up with my kids, I'd ask him, 'How did you go about disciplining them in this situation? Did you take away their toys?'http://www.officialpelicansshop.com/authentic-10-eric-gordon-jersey.html "And I also would ask him, 'What was your way of making your wife feel more special and not just making her feel like she was just a house wife?' Just little things like that, we talked about."
