If Royal is starting WR, who will do punt returns?

It looks like barring a poor performance or injury, that Royal will be the starting WR opposite B. Marshall, since it looks like B. Marshall will be out at least two games, that would make Royal the top WR for the first two weeks, I am curious if anyone thinks he will also be returning punts since he will be a starter and Shannan generally doesn't like his starters on special teams (although Rod Smith did catch punts on occassion), so it looks like Glen Martinez on punt return duty.  Seems like this is a mixed blessing, obviously Royal looks like the steal of the draft, but he was drafted with the idea of upgrading the return units, or does this open the door for someone like Aldridge gettting a bigger role in the return game.
