Lions possess rookie weapon on special teams

GREEN BAY -- For all the talk about Matthew Stafford, Golden Tate, Marvin Jones and Ameer Abdullah, there's another weapon in the Lions' arnsenal that has the Packers' attention.

Rookie punt returner Jamal Agnew already has brought back two punts for touchdowns this season, and the fifth-round pick out of San Diego is averaging a hefty 21.7 yards on 13 returns. Not letting the speedy Agnew get loose on Monday night at Lambeau Field is a huge priority for Green Bay's special teams.

"The stats speak for themselves, but you watch the video and it falls right in line," Head Coach Mike McCarthy said prior to Friday's practice.
