The Cleveland Browns had hoped they had solved their returner woes this offseason with the signing of WR Jakeem Grant. Grant’s ability in the return game made him very valuable to the team while also having a chance to be a part of the offense as a slot receiver in creative ways. Grant’s Achilles injury took him out for the season and left return duties up in the air.
Earlier this week, HC Kevin Stefanski was mum on who would return punts and kicks. While there didn’t seem to be a lot of benefit to hiding that information, some wondered if there would be a surprise candidate.
