Examples are individual data points. Looking at the complete data is surely far more helpful.

In the first study it says there is an 80% return to play rate, so there is a 20% chance the 2nd round draft pick won't even be able to play. Why take the risk?

80% chance from which point? If you're talking about players who have yet to have the surgery that is a bigger risk than if you are talking about players like Carman who are further along the process having already had surgery and been medically cleared to return.
