As of Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers had not yet discussed who will return punts in Calvin Austin III’s absence, but they have options. Scotty Miller said he would have served as the returner last Sunday had the Steelers faced another punt in-game after Austin’s injury. That doesn’t mean that special teams coordinator Danny Smith will put him out there the next game as the starter.
“No, we haven’t talked about it yet, to be honest with you”, Smith said on Monday, via the Steelers’ media department. “We’re meeting with the team this afternoon, and I’m sure we’ll talk personnel tomorrow.
