The Green Bay Packers have a new player catching punts during the team's "Sunday Night Football" game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6.
Coleman Owen, who signed with the Packers in late September, took the team's first punt return in the first quarter.
He had 16 yards on the return.
The second-year NFL player was elevated from the practice squad for the game and gets an opportunity with returner/wide receiver Skyy Moore on injured reserve.
Matthew Golden handled punt returns in last week's win over the Chicago Bears but coach Matt LaFleur likely wants the former first-round draft pick to focus on his receiving duties.
