"Falcons cornerback Kelvin Hayden has quickly recovered from a hamstring injury and returned to practice on Thursday.

The Falcons (1-2) are hoping that Hayden will be available to play against the Seattle Seahawks (1-2) at 4:05 p.m. Sunday at CenturyLink Field.

"Kelvin did a real good job with our athletic performance department and the trainers to get back out here," Falcons coach Mike Smith said. "We thought it might be a little bit longer than a couple of weeks. Hopefully, there won't be a [setback] and [Friday] he can continue on his road to recovery.""
