Chiefs’ coordinator notes on punt returner, running back rotation

The Kansas City Chiefs coordinators joined the media on Thursday ahead of the team’s first game of the 2021 season — a 3:25 p.m. Sunday matchup against the Cleveland Browns at Arrowhead Stadium. Given their specializations, the coordinators can sometimes provide more extensive insight. We had two items of note on Thursday.

Who will be starting at punt returner?

The Chiefs may go with No. 3 cornerback Mike Hughes on Sunday. In the past, special teams coordinator Dave Toub has been straightforward in saying it was wide receiver Mecole Hardman’s job — but that wasn’t exactly the case on Thursday.
