QB Brett Favre got lots of injuries but didn't miss a game.
DT Harrell got a couple injuries, mainly his back injury which kept flaring up year after year after year... but by your standards it's only one injury. So Favre got injured a lot more often.
That (while extreme) proves it's not by the number of injuries.
You did bring up a great way to look at it in games and years.
Starks has only played 22 games in 3 years.

In the last two years Green has averaged 8 games a season while Starks averages 9.5 games a season.
It's about available and playing level... not number of injuries...and the fact is their available has been about the same (poor).
