Despite watching Xavier Smith quite literally fumble away the NFC Championship game last season, he returns as LA's primary punt returner.

Smith retained as punt returner despite NFC Championship fumble; role questioned.

Despite fumbling away the NFC Championship game last season, Smith returns as LA's primary punt returner with little upside to the return role; the source questions why the Rams didn't bring in competition or alternatives during the offseason, suggesting the roster spot could be better maximized by identifying a player who can contribute more as a returner and elsewhere.
