It appears that the coaching staff agrees with the fans and the obvious play of Givens in the KR game. He will be inactive today, who is going to return kicks? Austin? Bailey? Either way hopefully there will be an improvement.
Givens inactive.

Not sure I want to risk injuring him. I think Fisher and staff are thinking the same thing. We just can't risk losing another CB. Not saying he'd be a bad choice, though.

I guess I need to realize the only reason why he was successful is that in his rookie year nobody was ready for the actual concept of a deep Rams pass and that's how he was successful :/ lol
He never developed into more, but I think the injuries slowed him down and took his one edge away. Hell I'm not even super concerned at least for this year because I'm OK with rolling out:
Quick
Britt
Bailey
Austin
Pettis

To see a rookie fall so fast is a bit shocking, considering everyone says our weakness is the receiving core....Only the fanbase realizes after the 5 games with 50 yard passes, he was easy to game plan....if only he could run the deep dig route, or some comeback type patterns....He still has value, but it's not as a KR....
Who do we put back there, Benny? I sure wanna see Tavon.

If he returns kicks and takes it out of the end zone, we'll be starting around the 10 yard line.. the guy runs in slow motion.
I'll be pissed if Pettis returns kicks. He's way too slow, he's an OK punt returner because he's shifty but there's no way he can return kicks.
The key trait for kick returning is sheer speed; the key skill for punt returning is elusiveness. Having both qualities, as Tavon does, is an added bonus. However, I seriously doubt the Horns view Austin Pettis is a bonafide KR.
