What do people mean by “injury prone”?

If they get hurt 1-2 times every season. If they've had 3 - 4 surgeries by age 20. That kinda shite.

Prone to being injured

desire to push oneself farther than they should + luck + playing without concern for injury/in the moment + genetics

You have Walter Payton/Bret Farve type guys who take a weekly beating for years and rarely miss a play.

Then you have guys who spend half their time on the injury list. Injury prone.

Some people are made of glass. Some are made of iron. Has nothing to do with size,etc.

It's hard to quantify.

Really? You didn't know what injury prone meant? You're lonely aren't you?

Are they saying it’s somehow the “fault” of the player, like conditioning or awareness?

There are people outside of sports too that get hurt more than others without doing much different than others. Some of it is that they make small pains seems big or have bodies that's more likely to get different types of injuries. HS isn't a real test alot of time for star players and it doesn't show up until college.

Not saying Tua is but he gets hurts alot and I don't think it's coincidence. Maybe it's how he runs or reacts going down that opens him to worse injuries.

It’s amazing how some people’s paranoia and lack of skills in reading comprehension can turn a simple question into conflict.

I think just the variety of answers here underlines my premise, namely that it’s a valid designation for players who are injured more than others, but nobody can really put a finger on why or even what is meant when they say it.

Some of you people are straight out of the cats-in-a-burlap-bag world of Twitter. Not everything has to be a fight.
