Chiefs name punt and kick returners, plus other special teams notes

It seemed as if the Kansas City Chiefs may replace wide receiver Tyreek Hill as their punt returner two weeks ago.

Special teams coordinator Dave Toub said at the time there had been internal conversations on whether or not it would be smartest to hand those duties to someone else, as doing so could prevent injury to one of the organization’s most important players.

But Uncle Dave reaffirmed Hill would keep his punt-return job on Thursday afternoon.

“Tyreek is such a threat, just having him lined up in there,” Toub said at his first weekly press conference of the regular season.
