Let's just call them "unreliable" whether it's poor play or injury history or injury future.
Last year we had 45 players hit I.R. (just I.R.); not including all the others that didn't go on I.R. but missed games. We're actually on track to have MORE than that with 9 games to go (26-28).
For those objective fans, try this exercise. Simply bold the players below you feel you can rely on for health + quality play. WARNING: Please consult a therapist immediately after this exercise.

Shon Coleman isn't on the roster, he was waived off IR earlier this season with an injury settlement, same with Tim Harris. Also Kendricks was cut.
Of the guys you list, I'd keep Trey, Mitchell, Hasty, Sermon, Juice, Deebo, Aiyuk, Jennings, Kittle, Woerner, Mack, Brunskill, Laken, Trent, McGlinchey, Moore, Banks, Armstead, Bosa, Ebukam, Key, Willis, Omenihu, Kinlaw, Street, Givens, Hurst, Jones, Greenlaw, Warner, Al-Shaair, Moseley, Ambry, Lenoir, K'Waun, Ward, Hufanga, Moore, Gould, Wish, & Pepper, so that's 41 players I'd keep around for 2022 and possibly beyond as core players.
I'd jettison the following, Jimmy, Sudfeld, Mostert, Cannon, Hurd, Compton, Harris, D.Johnson, Norman, Kirkpatrick, Tartt, & Wilson.
Unsure of the following, J.Wilson, Sanu, Sherfield, Brendel, Skule, Dee, Flannigan-Fowles.
Yeah, I just added every I.R. player too. Like last year, you know ShanaLynch will bring many of these guys back like Shon Coleman.
