Panthers WR Steve Smith A Candidate To Return Punts

Panthers coach John Fox wouldn't say Thursday who'll return punts in Sunday's season opener against Philadelphia, but said the candidates include two veterans who filled he role in the past but didn't get work there in the preseason -- wide receiver Steve Smith and cornerback Chris Gamble. Smith almost certainly is the best candidate on the roster, but using him in that role could be risky because of his value as one of the best wide receivers in the league. Smith sounded willing but not overly enthused about the possibility Thursday. "It's my job to make plays, so whatever opportunities I get with the ball, my objective is to make plays," he said. "You've got a chance (of) getting hurt just stepping on the field," he said. "You hope you're not put in a position whether it's catching punts or running the ball or catching the ball or drop-back passing where you're put in a vulnerable position where you could be injured. You try to minimize thaat when you're on the field as much as possible."
