Not sure how anyone is surprised by this. He had over 400 touches last year which usually doesn't bode well for most RBs. In fact I think I predicted this in the offseason about him for the same reason.

Obviously, all NFL players rely on their legs in some way, shape or form. But it's totally different for RB's because their worth to a team is based on what they can and cannot do with their legs on a much larger scale. And when a RB takes so many hits from 250-300+ pound LBers and DL.....its gonna be hard to stay healthy. 

For example, a OL, TE, WR, or even QB could have a broken wheel and can atleast still play "okay".  But for RBs.....that's their bread and butter.
