Nobody wants him to be injured, but we shouldn't delude ourselves about the fact that his family has been injury prone and that since we've drafted him he's been injury prone as well. How else do you describe suffering multiple injuries in just a handful of practices where you're already being given a lighter workload due to previous injuries?
He's a great player, but he's also injury prone and we've seen both sides of that in the short time he's been here. We can't go back now and draft someone else, so it's just something we're going to have to learn to live with and the team is going to have to learn how to manage it.
Do you pay attention to any other teams/players around the league? Players get MRIs all the damn time.
What is delusional is concluding that someone is injury prone because a 200-300lb man rolled over their ankle. That can and does have to anyone, regardless if they got hurt last September.
Also my point is the people that have thrown out the injury prone card will keep doing it regardless of what it is.... laceration "oh god his injury prone" turf toe "told ya injury prone" cut block, broken ankle "if he wasn't so injury prone that wouldn't have happened" blah blah blah.
The word injury prone is such a silly label...football players get hurt. A lot of it is dumb f**king luck end of the day.
