Falcons CB Kelvin Hayden Angling To Return Against Saints

Falcons cornerback Kelvin Hayden, who is recovering from a dislocated toe, plans to be on the field at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Monday night. “I’m very close,” Hayden said on Tuesday. “I’ll run again and see how that goes and hopefully I’ll be ready. Thursday, for me personally, will be a big day because I haven’t been out there in awhile. The more practice reps I get, the better.” Hayden, who signed with the Falcons at the end of training camp, had stabilized the secondary’s nickel back position before suffering his injury against Tennessee on Nov. 20. He’s missed the past four games. He’s aiming for the Saints game for his return. “Oh yeah, no doubt,” Hayden said when asked if he’s ready to play. “This is a big division game. We can only help ourselves with a win. With our entire arsenal out there, that will give us a better chance.”
