Actually, the only game Witten has ever missed was for a broken jaw in his rookie year in 2003 vs Eagles. I specifically remember him playing with the spleen, because had he taken a perfect hit on it, it would have killed him. Crazy, I know.He did miss one game because of the spleen. They wouldn't let him play. Not his choice though.
He traveled to multiple doctors, until he found one that gave him authorization to play that week. WItten has played in 189 consecutive games. That's the longest streak of any positional player in the NFL. A true Iron Man.
