Fluke elbow injury.
Dirty cheap shot from the biggest ***** in the league.
Not exactly things that line themselves up as repeat offenders.
If he kept tearing his ACL or injuring the same thing, I would worry
He also had two minor neck injuries, a minor knee injury, and what was forgotten about that elbow injury was even before it, he needed shoulder surgery too from tearing his labrum in offseason workouts. They were just having him try to play through it. When he got the elbow injury, they just went ahead and did both the elbow and the shoulder.

"The Bengals tight end tore the labrum in his left shoulder during off-season workouts last year, but decided to play through the injury. He dislocated his right elbow during the season opener, effectively ending his year."
People forget about the shoulder because it didn't happen during a game, and then the elbow injury took all the attention. Now a foot injury in a game where people aren't really tackling. It really is adding up to a worrying picture of how reliably healthy he can stay.
