What in the world are you talking about? Here is where we rank according to adjusted games lost from injury, which takes into account who the players are the last 5 years. (1 being the most injured, 32 being the least injured)
2020: 13th
2021: 26th
2022: 30th
2023:3rd
2024:18th
Average: We've lost the 18th most adjusted games due to injury the last 5 years. We're healthier than the average team has been.
For context: Here are the Ravens & Browns during the same period of time
The Ravens have averaged out to have the 15th most adjusted games lost due to injury.
2020:24th
2021:1st
2022:8th
2023:13th
2024:32nd
The Browns - Even if you said the Browns were the healthiest team in 2021 AND 2022, they would average out to have the 15th most adjusted games lost due to injury. So again, they have more injuries than we had.
2020:1st
2021: data unavailable
2022: data unavailable
2023:4th
2024: 6th
We haven't even been the most injured team in our division, let alone have dealt with an "inordinate amount of injuries"
