- Recurring Injury (+15): Ankle has been the site of 4 separate injury episodes — a recurring, chronic-pattern concern rather than isolated bad luck
- Contract Year (×0.95): Not yet in a contract year (star-tier contract) — already secure enough that preservation instinct dominates
The injury risk score (0–100) is built from a player’s injury history — how often, how recently and how seriously he has been hurt — plus a body part that keeps failing, age, a recent return from injury, and his contract situation. 70+ is High risk, 40–69 Medium, under 40 Low.
