I think that if you look at his missed time due to specific injuries, ankle and back accounts for about 33 games. Elbow adds 15 more. I may be off by a few here.
My concern last year was that his initial ankle ligament issue and back issues/surgeries would compromise him on the field.
But he showed that he is still has the explosive step and can still cut and create space.
I'm not sure that now with the fracture, if that is still the case. Or if he will need further procedures, once he puts the ankle through stress.
But I'll tell you what, anybody who can withstand the physical and psychological torment of working back from this many devastating injuries, is a tough SOB.
