They mean that they didn't have him returning kicks because your returners often do get banged up. His value in the passing game was enormous this year, so perhaps the coaches didn't want to risk him getting injured returning kicks unless they really had to.

Avoidant personality disorder (AvPD) (or anxious personality disorder) is a personality disorder recognized in the DSM-IV TR handbook in a person over the age of eighteen years as characterized by a pervasive pattern of social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, extreme sensitivity to negative evaluation, and avoidance of social interaction.

 

Seems about right, although I wish they'd start that whole "avoidance of social interaction" thing and get off our boards.

I'm curious as to whether the user name beginning with phoneticized "disease" and ending with Sparta is  intentional or not.  I get the reference he's trying to make, but maybe punning is within his intellectual capacity.  Then again, maybe it's just the delightful yet untintended result of "cleverness".
