It might not be, but I mean he had a lacerated kidney in 2022, a pretty serious ankle injury last year, and now he's dealing with a hammy. Three pretty distinct injuries.

It does look like he had a history of hamstring injuries back in College 9-10 years ago. If the current hamstring issues are related to those in College, it's probably concerning. If not, then maybe he's just been a little unlucky...?

Either way, I think the point is that we didn't sign him as the final missing piece needed for a SB run this year. I think this was more for the next couple years. They must have been A-ok with his medicals or I don't see this new regime signing him at all. That doesn't mean he will remain healthy though... it's a tough sport.

I absolutely agree the move was as much long term as much short term, if not even more so.
A serious ankle injury can lead to hamstring injuries though. I hope to hell he is 100 percent healthy next year.
