Let's agree on a definition for 'injury prone': if a player misses more than 25% of games he is eligible to play in due to more than 2 unrelated injuries, he is injury prone.

Do suspensions count?
Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

Why should unrelated injuries be a criteria? I would consider a guy who keeps injuring the same knee or same shoulder or same hamstring or whatever would be more injury prone because of that degenerative condition. Moreso than someone who gets his ankle rolled up on one year, and then gets a concussion due to helmet-to-helmet contact he next year, for instance. At least in my opinion.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

On their mandated day off, the Steelers received some good news on the injury front. The Steelers were notified that rookie running back James Conner’s shoulder injury was considered minor, and could return to action later this week as reported by Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Conner made a good first impression on Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin in his first day in pads, displaying the physicality and competitive drive that made him successful during his college career at Pitt.

Mike Tomlin confirms James Conner’s shoulder injury is minor
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin confirmed James Conner’s right shoulder injury is an AC joint sprain that won’t cost the rookie running back much practice time.
“It appears to be minor — days,” Tomlin said, via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
Conner, a third-round choice, was injured Sunday. Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette first reported the Steelers’ good news Tuesday after Conner underwent medical tests.
Conner, as a Hodgkin’s Lymphoma survivor who played for Pitt, didn’t need long to win over Steelers fans. He led the league’s rookies in sales of NFL-approved merchandise following the draft.
With Le’Veon Bell yet to sign his $12.1 million franchise tender and report to camp, Conner joins Fitz Toussaint and Knile Davis in the team’s running backs room.
The Steelers also received positive injury news on cornerback Senquez Golson, who, because of injuries, hasn’t played an NFL down since Pittsburgh drafted him in 2015. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Golson has a hamstring injury.
“Hopefully the days of the surgical things are over,” Golson said, via Fowler. “It’s going to turn out good.”
