Hester to stay on punts, Manning on kickoffs

Bears special teams coach Dave Toub confirmed that Devin Hester will stay on punt returns, but Danieal Manning will be the full-time kickoff returner.

While Hester made obvious progress as a receiver in 2008, his paltry 6.2 punt return average was a concern. A more cautious approach and divided responsibilities were blamed for Hester's fall-off, but he should be due for a bounce-back on punts in 2009.
