Thats 1 injury not 5. Also not torn acls. Thats also not a "ticking time bomb" injury like microfracture surgery.

So torn ACLs in which the player had surgery on over a year ago and proven to play on for over a year are worrisome but a broken neck a year ago is not worrisome?

Why do you say that you can "never" get a 100% clear medical due to microfracture surgery? Where is the proof in that?
And why do you keep saying "ticking time bomb" as if someone is guaranteed to have a big issue with their knee at some point after microfracture surgery? There's no guarantee that microfracture surgery will "explode" as you keep insisting.

For the record, Vontaze Burfict had microfracture surgery two years ago and he's been fine.

Dr. Neal ElAttrache, a member of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic Board of Directors Wrote:"I don't see any reason, if this thing heals like we want and we think it will, why he won't be back like he was," said Dr. Neal ElAttrache, a member of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic Board of Directors, over the phone. "Microfracture has a bad connotation, but there are plenty of guys who have come back and been able to play like before. But it's not really news when it works out."

And before you comment on how it was mentioned in the article of how he had knee surgery in late October 2014 and was having problems still, that was prior to the microfracture surgery, which came after he went on IR.

The biggest worry of microfracture surgery is not giving sufficient time to heal from the procedure. That's why those procedures are typically done right at the start of the offseason or even during the season if the player is on IR. The recovery is needed to be quite a few months. But as long as sufficient time is given for full recovery, this notion that it's a "ticking time bomb" is a fallacy.
