Overview

• Special teams coordinator Michael Ghobrial expressed confidence in Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s ability to handle kickoff returns following the Dallas game.
• Tracy averaged 26.4 yards on five returns with a long of 30 yards in Week 2 against the Cowboys.
• His offensive workload has shifted to a timeshare, with rookie Cam Skattebo taking more short-yardage and red-zone snaps and leading last week’s snap count 35 to 28.
• Tracy has continued return work since the offseason, and his background includes 408 yards on 17 kickoff returns at Purdue and three NFL returns for 61 yards as a rookie.
• Empire Sports Media noted the injury risk of using key starters on returns, citing Wan'Dale Robinson’s Week 1 ankle injury and Adoree’ Jackson’s 2022 setback.
