Pharoh Cooper

First-year head coach Sean McVay said Sunday the Los Angeles Rams are going to give Tavon Austin "a break" from returning punts. He can use one.

"I'm a little scarred up right now," Austin said after Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. "Never going to make excuses. Just gotta keep working at it day in and day out, hoping I get it back when I'm feeling more comfortable catching the ball back there."

Austin will continue to work on returning punts in practice, but in games he will defer to either Cooper Kupp or Pharoh Cooper. The Rams will decide between the two at some point this week.
