Chargers' Travis Benjamin: May lose return job

The Chargers may remove Benjamin from punt returns, The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Given the possibility of injury in combination with the rarity of return touchdowns, this might actually be a positive development for owners in leagues that don't count return yards. Benjamin has a strong track record as a return man, but he's struggled with decision-making this season, and he already has a lot of responsibility on offense. In any case, he has a favorable Week 5 matchup with the Raiders, giving him a nice opportunity to bounce back from Sunday's four-catch, 48-yard showing against New Orleans.
