Thrash was brought in because of his work ethic, the fact he had been a starting WR in Philly and he can contribute on special teams specifically on PR and give some opptions on kick returns.

So far, the blocking has been 100% better than last season, and Morton has not been impressive in his returns. He seems indecisive on punt returns. But it is extremely doubtful that Thrash will be a regular return-man. Gibbs definitely does not like his starters on offense OR defense returning kicks. Thrash will be either #3 or #2 WR, so he will have VERY limited return duties. So, it seems the return jobs are still up for grabs.
