Return Specialist

The Panthers have been giving a multitude of players a chance to return punts on special teams. Austin Duke, Christian McCaffrey, Damiere Byrd, Curtis Samuel, Kenjon Barner, Reggie Bonnafon and D.J. Moore have all had a chance to return a least one kickoff.

Some of the players mentioned above are on the roster bubble and may not be in a good position to make the 53-man roster. Can guys like Duke, Byrd, Barner and Bonnafon provide enough value on special teams to help them avoid cuts? Who will be the primary return specialist during the regular season?
