It's only an issue when it becomes consistent.
If they get injuried again next year then it's a trend, but for now everyone gets one season of "injury forgiveness". Every player tends to have a season like this at some point in their career, it's how you rebound from it and ensure it doesn't become a nagging injury that's important
