The broken arm, the concussion by Mike Mitchell and now this Probowl ankle injury.

Gronk has missed tons of games as well and nobody calls him injury prone.

Yup, Gronk actually played the first 42 games of his career without missing one. Eifert is almost guaranteed to not even play 42 games in his first four years.

You missed a couple of injuries though, Nate. In 2014 he was actually already injured before he dislocated his elbow. He had a shoulder injury that he planned on trying to play through and just get surgery in the offseason for, but had missed preseason stuff because of. When the elbow injury happened, he went ahead and got surgery on both the elbow and the shoulder.

People also forget that he had just come back from a neck injury that made him miss a week when he got concussed in that Steelers game.


So... Shoulder, Elbow, Neck, Concussion, Ankle.

Plus I believe some kind of knee issue that made him miss a game his rookie year. Or was it another neck thing? Don't recall, but he missed a game injured that year too.

That's injury prone, man. He's the TE version of Chris Perry or Bob Sanders.
