Byrd on Punt Returns?

I think they're putting him back there when they don't expect a return. I think it's a ball security thing.

I agree, so having said that why take the chance on putting him back there at all? All it takes is one over eager kid trying to make a team and Byrd's back is reinjured!

I agree that he's just taking over as the #2 PR if Cooks is out. I am almost certain that he won't be running many back unless it's an obvious blown punt coverage. Either way, he is not as fragile as people are making him out to be - he'll be fine.

Byrd seems to have such an explosive first couple steps. Really impressed me.
