Rookie Tavon Austin will be the Rams' punt returner, but the team is still figuring out who will return kickoffs, reports ESPN.com. Candidates include receiver Chris Givens and running backs Isaiah Pead and Benny Cunningham.
“I think we’ve got a punt returner,” coach Jeff Fisher said. “And then we’ve got Chris Givens and we know what he can do. I like what Isaiah has done on the practice field, he’s getting better at it and I’m perfectly comfortable with Benny doing it. He got 15 yards on his own, by himself the other night.”
While it's conceivable Austin could get some work on kickoff returns, the Rams would prefer not to since he's already working on offense and punt returns, the report said.
