Bears scaling back Devin Hester's WR snaps

The Bears have scaled back Devin Hester's receiver snaps recently because they "want to keep him fresh" for punt return duties.

Receivers coach Darryl Drake indicated that Hester's only real value as a wide receiver at this point is his ability to attract double teams. "People want to put two on 23 (Hester's number)," Drake said. "Defensive coordinators and secondary coaches, they have a fear of him. He's not getting a lot of balls, but he's opening it up for Johnny (Knox)." Knox is on pace for 55 catches and 1,093 receiving yards. Hester's pace is 416 yards and 42 receptions.
