Tried my best to find all their injuries out of curiosity and reading injury reports for 8 years.

Terron Armstead
2013: 6-2 [Rookie? I don't see any injury reports]
2014: 14-14 [Neck injury I believe]
2015: 13-13 [Knee injury]
2016: 7-7 [Various knee/quad injuries, ended on IR]
2017: 10-10 [Torn Labrum to start season]
2018: 10-10 [Pectoral injury]
2019: 15-15 [High ankle sprain]
2020: 14-14 [Arm injury, COVID]
2021: 8-8 [Elbow injury, knee injury that required offseason surgery] 
Total: 38 missed games out of 145 games (26.2% injury time)

Kal'El Collins
2015: 12-11 [Rookie? I don't see any injury reports]
2016: 3-3 [Torn foot ligament]
2017: 16-16 
2018: 16-16
2019: 15-15 [Left knee injury]
2020: 0-0 [Hip Surgery]
2021: 12-10 [PED Suspension]
Total: 30 missed games out of 92 non suspension games. (32.6% injury time)

I guess that means technically La'El is more injury prone. But he's more of a boom or bust guy. If he played at least 4 games he'll play all season or he doesn't play at all. Whereas Terron is going to miss 2-6 games every season, but play most of it.

My point wasn’t so much a comparison as was to point out that when veterans start to reach injuries, they usually continue along that line.
