Ramblin' Fan writer John Sbisa evaluates three potential in-house punt returner candidates for the Los Angeles Rams ahead of Week 9. Following a roster shuffle that sent Alex Bachman to the practice squad to make room for cornerback Cam Lampkin, Sbisa argues that the Rams should explore alternatives to revive their struggling return game.

The three candidates examined are Bachman, practice squad receiver Brennan Presley, and wide receiver Tutu Atwell.
