ST. LOUIS (AP) -Donnie Avery wants to keep returning kickoffs for the St. Louis Rams besides playing wide receiver, despite fumbling the opening kickoff of the season.
The gaffe set up the Seahawks at the Rams’ 19 yard line, but the defense prevented a score with an interception in the end zone.
Running back Samkon Gado returned the only other kickoff last week for St. Louis. Avery said he knew he had made a mistake and he found out about it Monday during evaluations.
“Coach (Steve Spagnuolo) wrote on paper, ‘spin equals fumble so don’t spin,”’ Avery said with a laugh.
No official word has been given if Avery, who is in his second season, will return kickoffs in Sunday’s game at Washington.
