Gould had four receptions for 25 yards on five targets in Thursday's preseason win over the Bengals. The 2024 fifth-round draft pick was seen mostly as a candidate for special teams as a star punt and kickoff returner, but had an impressive training camp and preseason that saw him get time with the first-team offense. He may have also won the kickoff return job and could take over the punt return job if Josh Downs misses regular season games due to a high ankle sprain.

Gould had four receptions for 25 yards on five targets in Thursday's preseason win over the Bengals. The 2024 fifth-round draft pick was seen mostly as a candidate for special teams as a star punt and kickoff returner, but had an impressive training camp and preseason that saw him get time with the first-team offense. He may have also won the kickoff return job and could take over the punt return job if Josh Downs misses regular season games due to a high ankle sprain.
Gets time with first-team offense

Gould worked with the first-team offense as a receiver, but was not targeted with a pass in Sunday's preseason loss to Denver, the Indianapolis Star reports. He had five kickoff returns for a 27.6 yard average and one punt return for nine yards. The 2024 fifth-round draft pick was seen mostly as a candidate for special teams as a star punt and kickoff returner, but has been working with the first-team offense in training camp at times as a receiver. He could take over the punt return job if Josh Downs misses regular season games due to a high ankle sprain.
Making push for WR duty

Gould has been used with the first-team offense in the slot at times during training camp and has made a strong impression, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. The 2024 fifth-round draft pick was seen mostly as a candidate for special teams, as he's also competing for the punt-return job (he was an elite punt returner at Oregon State). However, it looks like he could be in the receiver mix, which may have openings for playing time if Josh Downs misses regular-season games with a high-ankle sprain.
