The Atlanta Falcons got some bad news after the 2014 season when we found out that strong safety William Moore would need to undergo major shoulder surgery.

Now comes the good news.

According to Vaughn McClure of ESPN, Moore is hoping to be cleared for "at least limited activity before the offseason concludes."

"When will I be back on the field? When I get cleared,'' Moore told ESPN. "Seriously though, I don't know. I haven't the slightest idea. I hope in a few more weeks. We're still rehabbing. We're sore right now from rehab, but my body feels excellent. My weight is great. I'm at 220. I was at 230, 232."

"With this defense, we're running and hitting. I'm still going to be down in the box. I'm excited about that.''

Moore's health is going to be huge for Atlanta heading into 2015, so the fact that he's rehabbing well is great news. Keep an eye out for a more clear timeframe when we could see him back in action.
