Durability Story · Watch

Michael Penix Jr.'s durability file isn’t one dramatic injury — it’s a pattern. The same lower-body themes keep resurfacing. Evidence check: injury reports across 2 different seasons; reinjury band sits at High. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, Michael is startable but fragile: keep a handcuff or streaming backup ready when the next soft-tissue note lands.

Based on injury history + recent reporting. Not a medical diagnosis.
