    There was a familiar punt return candidate and a new one on the field in Wednesday morning's special teams practice. The familiar one was Mark Jones, who was signed for the express purpose of returning punts and kickoffs, and was back from a hamstring injury. The new candidate was perhaps even more intriguing – first-round pick Kenny Britt. "It's something he's never done, but he's pretty natural at doing it. He's done it in our specialist periods, but it was the first time in a team setting," special teams coach Alan Lowry said. "I've been catching punts since I was in Pop Warner," Britt said. "I was the backup at Rutgers, but they just never put me in there, because they didn't want me to get hurt. I practiced every day, just in case somebody got hurt."
