They knew his injury history when they drafted him. They took a gamble on him and hope for the best.

I find it funny that Arthur Blank didn’t want to pursue a trade for Lamar Jackson in 2022 citing “injury risk” for not wanting him on his team. Then to proceed to get two QBs who had more career altering injuries is insulting.
