There is no trace of the ankle injury that kept him out of practice Wednesday and Thursday and limited him on Friday, so he will be active today.

Hester stretched with teammates and was running without a limp, as he practiced Friday for the first time this week. Hester is expected to be limited at today’s practice, but he was moving much better than he had at any time since last Sunday’s game, when he suffered a mild ankle sprain that sidelined him briefly.
