Just found this site that tracks players' injury history and ranks likelihood of reinjury. Obviously not science, but not a pretty picture for our RBs. I find it odd that Williams tore patellar tendons in each knee; most knee injuries are ACLs or MCLs. No significant injuries for Randle.

Looks like those haven't been updated since last season. "Randle will begin the year fighting for his role to play behind DeMarco Murray."

And this one as well
" Randle has not dealt with any major injuries but is competing with Lance Dunbar and new rookie Ryan Williams."

And this one:
"Randle is not only competing against O.J. Simpson to see starting snaps on the field, but has Red Grange nipping at his heals to round out the RB trio."

Torn the tendon in one knee and dislocated his patella in the other.

Those injuries suck. Tendons and jumper knee aren't as easy to repair thru surgery. I hope that he comes back though because we will need him.

I wonder if it has to do with his style of running. He seems to put a lot of torque on his knees trying to spin off tackles and such. It seems like he twists a lot to me while a lot of other backs mostly keep their legs forward.
