Russell "Injury Prone" Okung missed 12 out of 48 Regular Season games for Chargers.

[Rags]

1 in each of his first two seasons with them. Missed weeks 1-7 last year, one more in the middle of his return, and then the last two of the season.

And as long as he is not one of the 2-4% of people who develop long term lung damage, he should have recovered much better than Pardis did with half the commitment. 

Worst case he's shot. Best case he's a good stop gap blindside protector.

Draft Lefty Tua and you don’t worry about that blindside. Already have a decent RT.

[Waldo]

I guess he can teach Little about being a LT while they are injured together in rehab...

Sorry not sorry, couldn't help myself.

An older guy missed 25% of his game at probably the most injury prone position in football, many of them being last year (you also fail to leave out he missed the last 2 games last year because of them being 5-9 and not wanting to hurt him any worse)

I mean, 1 game a season until a freak heart thing that should be cleared up isn’t what I would call injury prone...

Injury prone labels can quickly be forgotten... Look at Luke. Missed 8 games 2015-16 and then only 1 game the last 3 years with two straight 16 game seasons.

People crap on this but i we're not keeping Cam, I think this is perhaps the next best option.

Keep in mind that Turner missed 12 games as well and has only played 16 games twice in the last 6 seasons.

[Panther'sBigD]

What is all of this "IF" he can come back from his health issues??? He played the final 6 games of last season. It's understandable that he'd be rusty during those games as he had come back from a major health scare. He'll have an entire off-season to recondition, and training camp with his old line coach to get re-acclimated. Even if he's just alright, he'll be better than what we had last year.

kinda tells me a lot

unless this was a move to open up money for a better move let’s admit it, it’s fuging stupid

And you can see I didn't edit.

It frees up $15M in 2021.

12 out of 48 isn't an extraordinary amount of games missed.  Probably fairly average, or just slightly below for the age/position.
