From ChicagoBears.com --

"LAKE FOREST, Ill. Devin Hester missed practice Wednesday because he was sick. But after hearing the news that Raiders coach Lane Kiffin relayed, the All-Pro return specialist likely will feel better in a hurry.

"Kiffin informed the Chicago media during a conference call that the Raiders (2-6) intend to kick the ball to Hester Sunday when the Bears (3-5) visit McAfee Coliseum in Oakland.

"Devin Hester leads the NFL in punt returns with a 19.6-yard average and 2 touchdowns."

"We’re excited about the challenge," Kiffin said. "We’ve started to play better on special teams the last few weeks and this is probably the best returner ever to play the game. It’s not just him. Chicago plays great in all phases of their special teams and is extremely sound.

"We’re prepared for a challenge. It’s no fun to kick it out of bounds, so we’re going to see how well we can cover."

Sounds like great news to me! It's hard to call my wife over to say "hey - Hester has a chance to get the call again" when they're always kicking it off to the side or short :-)
