Poll: Who should be the top option to replace Jamal Agnew at punt returner?

ALLEN PARK -- The Lions haven't formally announced an update on Jamal Agnew's knee injury, but indications are that it is likely a serious setback and could be season-ending.

That's the vibe that special teams coach Joe Marciano gave on the Tuesday of the bye week, stating that his team would need to have a serious discussion about who the punt returner will be going forward. He said he expects the answer to come from what is already on Detroit's roster.

He wouldn't be easy to replace, one year after he led the league in return average and touchdowns en route to an All-Pro selection, all as a fifth-round rookie.
