Devin Hester is ready to field punts for the Bears again. Chicago coach Lovie Smith said that Hester will field kicks in Sunday's preseason game against the Broncos. "I think it's important for us to see," Smith told the Associated Press. "This week we're playing the game like the regular season is here. You'll see most of our guys in a role that they will play during the course of the season. "I don't think that there's a reason why we would let Devin do a lot of that before now, but things change about this third game of the preseason." Hester hadn't fielded many punts prior to this week's practices. "I feel like I need to get back into the groove, but at the same time it's up to the coaches -- it's not up to me," he said. "All I can do is go by what the coaches say."
