The Facts:
Chicago Bears wide receiver and return specialist Devin Hester suffered a concussion early in the first half of Sunday's Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Hester didn't have a reception and returned one punt for six yards before exiting the game. Eric Weems replaced him at receiver and on returns.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Chances are, Hester isn't on too many fantasy rosters unless the league awards points for return yards. Hester will be subject to various concussion tests and evaluations in the coming week before he can return to the practice field. We'll keep you posted on his status heading into Chicago's Week 13 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Interesting factoid: At 30, Hester is the third-oldest full-time kick returner (punts and kickoffs) in the NFL behind the Detroit Lions’ Stefan Logan (31) and the Seattle Seahawks’ Leon Washington (30). The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Roscoe Parrish (30) and the Denver Broncos’ Jim Leonhard (30) are the only other 30-somethings returning kicks.
