After relieving wide receiver from his punt return duties earlier this week, head coach Sean McVay said he’s leaning toward using wide receiver in the role this week.
McVay said both Cooper and rookie wide receiver Cooper Kupp worked at the position during Wednesday’s practice, and that they each did a nice job fielding the kicks.
“Cooper [Kupp’s] done it already when you really look at it in some of those punt safe situations — very sure handed,” McVay said. “But I think when you look at the role that he has offensively, and then how well Pharoh’s done as a kick returner, feel a lot of confidence in him.
