Joe only runs a hand full of times per game and tends to slide unless he's fighting for a first down.
He has taken one or two big hits in the last few weeks (the one where he followed Perine through the hole last week and the 3rd and 3 this week), but he generally avoids contact on his runs pretty well.
If Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert, Justin Fields, Daniel Jones and Kyler Murray can run it 100+ times per year and not get injured (as a result of running), then I think Joe can handle 50 times per year.
I think some fans clench up every time Joe is hit because of his ACL tear, but he's fully healed. That injury had nothing to do with some kind of inherent weakness within Joe. It was just a freak accident where his leg got pinned and fallen on. It could happen to anyone on any play whether they're in the pocket or out of it. In fact, running may give him a chance of avoiding those injuries because he's generally not surrounded by 300+ lb guys when he's running haha.
