Kelly was kind of vague last night in his press conference regarding Perkin’s time on the field. I just don’t get it

It's not really a mystery. He's a true freshman changing positions. It's a lot harder to coach him on what to look out for on the field during this particular game when he's on the field, and you don't want to have him make too many mistakes because he'll get the yips. It makes a ton of sense to not have him on the field for the first drive where things are the most exotic/weird and for him to periodically sit out drives to review what's going on.
