Why does Geno Atkins only play on third downs?

Atkins played 18 snaps yesterday, which was 22% of the defensive snaps.

As Nico said, if he's playing injured, he should go ahead and get the surgery now.
No reason to keep putting him out there if he's going to be this ineffective.
He's being paid to play a majority of the snaps.
