Jason Hatcher's thigh will be fine come Sunday, he says

Defensive end Jason Hatcher said he missed practice only as a precaution. His thigh will be "100 percent by the time Sunday comes," Hatcher promises.

"It’s doing good," Hatcher said Wednesday. "I’m a veteran. I understand. I listen to my body. It was one of those days I felt like I should have just rested a little bit more. Tomorrow, I’ll do a little bit more.

"Am I worried about me playing Sunday? No."

Hatcher has had 68 tackles, 4 sacks and 21 quarterback pressures this season.
