Early Raiders’ punt return options

The Raiders have worked hard to fill need areas in free agency so far and there may be some added competition at punt returner.

The Raiders have been looking for a dynamic punt returner for years.

With the draft still ahead, there is a chance the Raiders’ 2020 punt returner is not yet on the roster. However, if they add a receiver in the first round, I wouldn’t make the assumption that he’d be the returner. Teams usually keep their starting receivers out of the punt-return mix because of injury concerns.

Perhaps a lower-round draft pick, undrafted free agent or future a veteran free agent addition will take over the duties.
