Lions consider options for new punt returner after Kennedy's injury

The Detroit Lions are in search of a new punt returner following Tom Kennedy's season-ending knee injury. Head coach Dan Campbell confirmed that general manager Brad Holmes will explore both internal candidates and external options. Kennedy was injured during Sunday's 45-21 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, leaving the Lions without their primary returner just before their bye week. Campbell identified Dominic Lovett and Lawrence Keys as potential replacements from the practice squad, but the team may also consider signing a veteran return specialist. Amon-Ra St. Brown stepped in as an emergency option but Campbell indicated a preference for not relying on him full-time to avoid unnecessary risk.
