We’re looking at some of the options we might have with some of our running backs for a possible secondary guy that can fit in back there.

These statements will keep us guessing untill tomorrow. Linehan specifically mentions Hagans when addressing the kick return options, but also makes a specific point that the final decision on Russell is still open. Like Nick pointed out, describing Russell's returns as "okay" could be just a little telling. Don't know what I missed because I thought he was by far the most dynamic returner.
We'll see.
