He was an UDFA, it's not like they signed megatron to 100M contract and had him returning punts. Relax. People get injured in football all the time and it's not predictable.
True...nor is it a "question of durability" (as another poster alluded to), or that he might suffer from "durability issues" or be "injury prone" or have a lack of "conditioning." GOD, i hate those phrases, when a freak injury could affect anyone, returning punts or not.
If he's shut down for the season, that will just give him the rest and rehab time he needs to come back even stronger and smarter, now that he AND the team know what he's capable of. Yes, playing gives him the experience, but it contributes to more wins, people will be bitching at him for being so good...LOL.
Oh well - you play with you got, especially in this year of developing the players already on or remaining on the roster.
Good luck, Preston...get well SOON!
