Hurried back to consider report (7)
I believe the answer is:
narrate
'report' is the definition.
(to narrate is to report or relate a story)
'hurried back to consider' is the wordplay.
'hurried' becomes 'ran' (running is a kind of hurrying).
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'to consider' becomes 'rate' (I've seen this before).
'ran' in reverse letter order is 'nar'.
'nar'+'rate'='NARRATE'
(Other definitions for narrate that I've seen before include "Relate events" , "recount events" , "Give (film) commentary" , "Report; tell" , "Tell the tale." .)
