Update: Ross Leading Candidate to Return Punts
I speculated that Aaron Ross might be the best option to return punts with Domenik Hixon now out for the year. Not suprisingly, I was right again. Ralph Vacchiano has reported that Ross is, in fact, the leading candidate to replace Hixon and has gotten the majority of the reps in his absence. Obviously, it will still be an interesting competition through the summer and into pre-season, with Mario Manningham figuring to get a good look. Keep an eye on rookie S Chad Jones as a dark horse candidate as well. As far as kickoff's, Bradshaw is experienced and probably the most likely candidate, but he needs to get healthy first. Sinorice Moss will also get a chance--and fail--along with RB's DJ Ware and Andre Brown. I would think Jones will get a look here as well.

I like this move considering he is not a starter anyway and there were some highlight clips of him returning punts in college and he looked decent. Bradshaw returning kicks I do not like..more prone to injury and frankly he does not have the break away speed to take one to the house. he never has before and always gets caught from behind if he has a seam. Remember the opening kick off in the playoff game vs the Eagles in 08? Would have completely changed that game if he takes it to the house...instead caught at the 45.... giants 3 and out...lose first round.
