He was inactive for a game in '10, for his shoulder. And later on that year, he left a game for his knee and was inactive the week after.
This year, he was inactive for the last game of the season (I don't know the reason).
That is four different injuries, that he's been deemed inactive for. It sort of makes you think he's soft ("any little thing keeps him out"). But in any case, that is a lot of time missing/leaving games, if you ask me. You say 7/64 is not bad, but as a backup, he's not on the field as much as a starter... he shouldn't get hurt as much.
One more very puzzling thing to consider, is that Chris "All he does is catch touchdowns" Carter, beat him out for the '12 starting job. Cris Carter. Then to follow that up, he was beaten out (or at least, failed to distinguish himself) against a rookie (Jarvis Jones). Don't tell me about switching sides... he couldn't beat out CRIS CARTER, nor could he beat out a wet-behind-the-ears rookie. What does that say?
