He’s had one major injury that caused him to miss 1/2 a season. He sat out a couple games at the end of the following season after missing the start of that season due to suspension, because he was dinged, he was about to be a FA, and his QB was out, and the team was playing out the string of picking in the top 3.
He has always been a guy with minor ailments/dings going on, but he also has always been an incredibly high volume player taking lots of hits and running lots of routes, too.
He was 162/164 possible games played before his significant injury.
Since returning from the injury and the suspension, he is 33/35 … and probably would have played the two he missed had he not been playing for a dead-end team at that point.

Yah. Apparently Dp9 didn't get the memo. And iirc, DHop has missed just 10% of all possible games he could've played in over his entire career.
Another factoid: of his 945 career catches, 70% have gone for either 1st downs or TDs.
