Berrian to return punts Thursday

After the Minnesota Vikings traded running back Darius Reynaud to the New York Giants, the team had a  noticeable void at punt-returner.

The void has been filled when coach Brad Childress announced receiver Bernard Berrian will handle punts to begin Thursdays game against the New Orlean Saints.

Berrian, Percy Harvin and Greg Camarillo have been fielding punts in practice all week.

Harvin is the primary kick-returner.
