Is Devin Hester hanging by a thread in Chicago; Team is now working him at DB

Devin Hester can play many positions but he has not been seeing the field on anything other than returns.  Well now the Chicago Bears are now working out the speedster out as a defensive back.

“He’ll jump into (the drills) from time to time and get a little work in,” Bears defensive coordinator Mel Tucker said. “But there is really no news there. I’m not in the conversation business.”

Hester started games at cornerback and nickel back in college at the University of Miami and was a reserve cornerback for the Bears in 2006. Hester saw limited time on defense but did record 11 tackles and one pass break-up.

“We try to keep Devin as busy as we can throughout the course of practice,” Bears head coach Marc Trestman said. “But you never know. You never know. We certainly want to keep him doing what he’s been doing. But he does have value, certainly, doing other things. And who knows. Nothing’s out of the question. It’s not something we’ve spent a lot of time talking about.”

Is his career about over like Brian Urlacher’s in Chicago?
