Is it really just for fun as some had speculated earlier? For the second day in a row, Travis Henry fielded kicks at training camp along with Nate Clements. Reports are that he did much better this time around. Would they really consider putting him back on kickoffs?

When he is fielding kicks, are they practicing returns or kickoffs?

he's too slow to be a returner and he is our #1 back. i think it might just for him to practice catching the ball or something

They are probably just working on the special teams. Putting TH in there, allows them to work on a cutting returner.

Since Bryson will be named the opening day starter I see no problem with Henry trying to field kicks.

TH will be the starter, sounds like Bryson is gone...

Letting Bryson go would be a huge mistake.

When Henry goes down with a injury or is not productive, do you want to see Morris or Huntley being the #1 back? I sure don't.

Morris will do just fine IMO

All I can say is, God I hope not.
This team has the uncanny knack in the past several years, for choosing kick off return guys, that make as much sense as a 350 LB bodybuilder packing groceries for an 85 year old lady.
Last year I think, wasn't it Bryson returning kickoffs? Talk about a lost soul on the field.
If the coaches don't have enough sense not to put their number one running back on the field to return kickoffs, I say its time for a coaching change. This is idoisy at it's fullest.
