NOTE: none of this is spoken with any position of authority or inside knowledge. Its just a conversation starter. This is about players with certain or possible "spill over" injuries so if the player came back in 2022, I tried to exclude them.
QB, RB, TE, S: None.
WR:
Wan’Dale Robinson; ACL in November, '22 -- Outlook: love the kid and hope they are prudent about his return
Sterling Shepard; ACL in September, '22 -- Outlook: he's the ultimate teammate and has had a solid career albeit one that has been littered with injuries. I am not optimistic especially now that we have added a few NFL caliber receivers.
Collin Johnson; Achilles in August, '22. -- Outlook: I am always skeptical when it comes to this injury.
OL:
Marcus McKethan; ACL in August, '22 -- Outlook: plenty of time to rehab we should be optimistic; one would think he would have the inside track on a backup OG spot over Lemieux who has had his injury problems as well
DL:
Leonard Williams - seemed banged up all year long; -- Outlook: I hope none of that has a recovery that spills over into '23
D.J.Davidson; ACL in October, '22 -- Outlook: easy to like in his rookie year; good temperament for the position; this is suddenly a deep position
LB/Edge:
Azeez Ojulari - muscle pulls all year long last year; -- Outlook: let's hope he found a yoga instructor
Elerson Smith - has been hurt so often in the last several years; -- Outlook: t is difficult to be optimistic about a future w NYG at this point
Darrian Beavers; ACL in August, '22 -- Outlook: plenty of time to recover; will be interesting if he regains his depth chart advantage over McFadden
CB:
Aaron Robinson; knee injury in September, '22 -- I am unclear as to whether this was an ACL or other -- Outlook: unsure
Leonard Johnson; ACL in April, '22 -- Outlook: unsure (no idea how good he is)
Glowinski at the most only has this year left at right guard
DL A’Shawn Robinson, torn meniscus
TE Darren Waller, hamstring (?)
McKethan, Robinson, Shepard, Johnson, Davidson, Robinson, Beavers. Good golly.
Also, did Ezeudu’s neck ever get cleared last year? I don’t believe so.

Good additions.
I wonder the same.
hopeful for beavers. he flashed last yr but practiced for a week. IDK if I would say "looked great'
I would go with promising
Don’t count him out.
Don’t count him out.
He’s been hurt for the better part of 2 consecutive seasons. When can we count him in?
Regardless, it won’t stop him from being a great player if he keeps improving as a player
Quote:
sustained on the opening drive of preseason 2022, and he’s had almost a year to rehab. Apart from that he has no other injuries, he’s in his prime, schooled in this offense from day one, and no doubt has a large chip on his shoulder.

True, however he was an iron horse at Oregon, and the turf that injured his foot has been replaced - there are reasons to be optimistic about Lemieux.
