Yahoo Sports NFL on Alex Bachman
From the article
McVay said wide receiver Alex Bachman, who is currently on the team's practice squad, will step into the punt returner role... he does not have a history as a returner., nor is he known as an open-field runner. His production was only mediocre It appears a lateral move, at best.
STACKED’s take
Bachman selected for Rams punt returner role; modest 5.6 average on 22 returns last year.
Selected by the Rams to fill the punt returner role from the practice squad. Age 30, 5'11", 195 lb; originally signed as undrafted free agent in 2019 with stops at Giants (2019-22), Texans (2022-24), and Raiders (2025) before rejoining Rams in August. Last season with Raiders was his first as primary returner: 22 punt returns for 124 yards (5.6 average), long of 25 yards, one fumble; also contributed nine tackles on coverage teams over past two seasons. Physically bigger than most returners; ran 4.47 forty with 1.58 10-yard split coming out in 2019, similar to Xavier Smith but slightly less burst. McVay said he is "optimistic that I think we're gonna see some good stuff from Alex on Sunday" and expressed interest in seeing how Bachman performs.
