Yet numerous studies say differently. They are posted in the Tua thread which discusses the injury probability for players, the types of injuries, for players who were previously injured.
Most were only 10 percent more likely to be injured than those who were not injured before.
Biggest issues deal with chronic muscle issues in the lower extremities. Ankles were one of the lowest future issues as were hip injuries. Broken bones are really no issue the same with upper extremity injuries with the exception of shoulder injuries for QBs.
We're not worried so much about re injuring his ankles, hip etc. We're just concerned what's next. Some players are just more prone to injuries. For Tua to have a long career he's gonna have to change a few things in his game. Chris Simms made a good point that Tua isn't as athletic as he thinks he is and has been caught from behind several times while trying to run which has caused both his ankle injuries and his hip. The NFL is faster and the O line protection will not be as good.
