I completely tore my Achilles by starting to run straight forward, no one touched me. Teddy Bridgewater nearly had to have his leg amputated because his knee dislocated as he was dropping back. No contact.

All part of the inherent risk of playing professional football. 

I don't disagree playing NFL professional football is an inherent risk but the earlier and more frequent injuries in a players career start to bring in doubt to durability.

Eifert and Burrow have had similar starts to their careers, both have played at a high level at their position but both have had season ending injuries 2 of their first 4 seasons. By season 5, Eiffert was labeled a risk for sure at his position, I do believe Eifert was more injured overall going into year 5 especially with back issue than Burrow going into Year 5 but surgery to QB throwing hand is troublesome and with the injuries mounting up , it is appropriate to be concerned about his durability at QB position.
