His earned injury prone label is legit.
Hopefully these new additions can help solve that if it's not too late. The fear is it is.
Burrows knee was destroyed due to the LG being bull rushed into him and the RT getting beat. Not sure how that has ANY impact on a potential LT draft pick?

We are probably living season by season (game by game) with Burrow at this point. Nothing surrounding his availability is guaranteed.
This is just a bad uninformed opinion. Burrow in outstanding shape. ACL's repair good as new these days. The wrist likely will as well. He will not experience pain forever, according to a surgeon who was recently quoted as saying that he could feel pain up until November, but that is the far end of the timing spectrum, not forever.

My argument, while it hurts to hear, can't be disputed with Burrows injury history.
Folks can try, but facts are facts. He's only been able to finish 2 seasons out of 4 and he's battled though injury issues in every season.
I think there is a little bit of Ostrich head in the sand when it comes to Burrow and his injuries from this fanbase. If it was any other QB suddenly people would see the bubbling threat to what was hoped to be a 15 year career.
Yes I worried about Burrow's health early last season and took all the shots (tired argument, gloom and doom etc) as I typically do when I see something coming from a mile away and everyone plugs their ears and covers their eyes and sings Kumbaya. And of course we saw what happened to him.
And who was shocked when it did? Not I. Everyone else melting down late and after the fact just couldn't see the signs.
This is a dumb as people saying Mims is injury prone. Both had blockers/defenders pushed/rolled into their legs. Any human would have had the knee/ankle surgery. It is dumb to suggest that these 2 had these injuries because they are injury prone.
Burrow had a 280 pound man fall on him and was unable to extend his arm to break the fall, another freak accident that would have injured anyone's wrist. Players are classified as being injury prone, not due to freak injuries, but as to soft injury issues or problems with a previous injury. Like Tee's annual hamstrings, if Burrow's calf keeps being an issue or his ACL doesn't hold up, then he has a problem. Not understanding how football works is mindnumbingly annoying with our fanbase and others.
