Whether he gets cleared to play or not, pretty good chance AB will not be returning punts the week after taking a concussion. So who returns punts if he can't go or if they won't let him return punts?
 
Todman.......I hope but he doesn't have a history returning punts, just KO's. I read somewhere that Wheaton's name was being bantered about but with AB probably out, I would rather gamble on Todman. We don't need Wheaton hurt too.

AB. If he can play, he can play.

That said, I'm not putting my best player (maybe two besides Ben) in that situation. Failure of leadership over the years not to find "someone".

Exactly

I agree for the game let it be the next man up...
 
Wheaton was returning kicks - let him do PR from now on
 
Daniel McCullers would be my choice. Would strike fear in the Broncos to see him lumbering towards them.
 
1. Wheaton
2. Boykin
3. Todman
 
Oh yeah I forgot Boykin was a monster return man at UGA
 
Wheaton or Todman. Hell, i'd just have 11 players after the punter and let he ball bounce where it may.

Boykin...I didn't know he returned kicks. he would be ideal if he could handle it.

Well there it is.....

As a senior he was named the MVP of the 2012 Outback Bowl after tackling Keshawn Martin for a safety, and returning a punt 92 yards for a touchdown in a 33–30 triple overtime loss to the Michigan State Spartans.

Sign that guy up for PR man Sunday

If I KNEW he would cleanly make the catch, I'd give Martavis the chance. But since he hasn't been practicing punt returns (I presume), I'd go with Wheaton.
 
You sold me Tibs, I vote Boykin. I'm not aware of any other PR man, we got KR guys but no real experienced PR'ers

Now we'll see if he has any better luck getting to do that than he did trying to get on the field as a CB.

And I agree with Hines
There would be some exploding heads around here if he did return punts and did well.
 
warriors, I run a 7.8 40 got nerves of jello and can't catch a cold anymore. I'm just the type of player Tomlin loves.
 
Per Kaboly, Wheaton said he is returning punts if AB can't.
