He's had 3 knee injuries. 2015,2018,2019. He opted out last season so he is 2 years removed from his last knee injury. I'm just not sure he is the same player he was when he first came out. Between 2015 and 2018 he had minor injuries to his wrist, couple.of hammy pulls and an ankle injury that had him miss some games.
If he can stay healthy its a good signing. But he hasn't shown he can do that yet. Maybe his knee is in better shape since he opted out last year but idk. I think is more of a hail Mary to see if he can return to form and lock down the slot. I liked him coming out of USC but 9 years and 3 knee injuries later IDK how effective he can be.
He had a MCL sprain in May of 2015 but didn't miss TC, 2018 is when he had the ACL and what knee injury did he have in 2019? He had a shoulder issue not a knee issue...everything I'm reading is he hasn't had a knee issues since that ACL in 2018. All those other injuries are normal NFL injuries overall.
I don't think anyone should assume he's the same dude he was pre-injury, I'm sure his contract reflect that.
For me it's gonna be the hammy stuff, he hasn't played football in some time. I can see that being an issue.
2015EditLee competed against Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns for the vacant starting wide receiver position left by the departure of Cecil Shorts. He missed the majority of training camp after suffering a knee injury and then suffered a hamstring injury that allowed teammates to surpass him on the depth chart.[39][40] Offensive coordinator Greg Olson named Lee the fourth wide receiver on the depth chart to begin the regular season, behind Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns, and Bryan Walters.[41]
2018EditOn March 13, 2018, the Jaguars signed Lee to a four-year, $38 million contract extension.[31][63] On August 25, 2018, in the third preseason game, Lee suffered a severe knee injury and had to undergo season-ending surgery.[64]
2019EditOn October 29, 2019, Lee was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury.[65] He finished the season with just three catches for 18 yards.
Lee was released by the Jaguars on April 20, 2020.[66]
