Seeking a spark to their special teams return game, the Pittsburgh Steelers may allow wide receiver Santonio Holmes to return punts this year.

Holmes returned punts quite effectively in college for the Ohio State Buckeyes and would certainly force opponents to think twice before kicking to him.

He also returned punts and kickoffs during his rookie season but had some problems holding onto the ball.

The team’s major concern is the possibility that Holmes could get injured on special teams, costing the Steelers one of their best offensive players.
