Rams Keeping Options Open at Punt Returner

By Myles Simmons


With wide receiver Tavon Austin out until training camp after undergoing a recent surgery, the Rams will have an opportunity to take a look at other players not just on offense, but also at punt returner.

Asked on Saturday if Austin will continue to be Los Angeles’ primary punt returner, head coach Sean McVay appeared to want to keep his options open.

“I think when you look at it, he’s done a great job with that. Certainly it’s going to be something that moving forward every single day, we’re going to figure that out,” McVay said. “Anytime that you’ve got a guy like him that can create with the ball in his hands, you want to be able to create those opportunities.

“But, I know there’s other players in place that can do that as well,” McVay continued, adding special teams coordinator John Fassel “is doing a good job of kind of being able to keep that open where you’ve got some guys in those spots. And that will be determined at a later date.”
