This. Or more to the point the state of FedEx Field and the involvement of Dan Snyder. Saying it.. He shouldn't have even been on the field in that playoff game. It's like assuming that Lattimore kid from South Carolina was going to come back as an RB following the break he had. He wasn't the end.
Injuries correlate much higher with how a player plays rather than the size of the player with heigher weight even slightly correlating with higher injury rates not less.
I dont like anecdotes but if you want an example just look at Tom Brady vs Andrew Luck. They're almost identical build wise both being 6'4" 235lbs and both are passers primarily but when they did rush they had very different approaches. Luck was much more aggressive than Brady on the ground taking the hit vs sliding and a much higher rate than Brady.

Damn that's tough. But can't blame a guy for getting injured
