punt

Receiver Xavier Smith held off a challenge from veteran free agent Britain Covey during training camp to retain his role as a punt returner.

The special teams failed to put enough players on the field, leading to a busted punt coverage.

Meanwhile, the Cavaliers did what they wanted on offense, helped by Hamilton’s refusal to punt on fourth down.

Scott finished in the top 10 in punts downed inside the 20.

Jimmy Renteria caught a touchdown pass and scored on a fake punt, and quarterback Kevin Hawkins rushed for 150 yards in a win over Hart.
