Prior to the 2021 season, Khalil Mack had only missed two games in his professional career. Both games came during the 2018 season where he recorded 13 starts and came in off the bench in another. Some bad injury luck finally struck Mack in his eighth year in the NFL that unfortunately limited him to just seven games this past season.
Despite missing 10 games, he still finished with six sacks and six tackles for loss. While an injury like that this late in his career can cause some worry amongst fans going forward, an injured Mack was still more productive than Uchenna Nwosu was a year ago who finished with five sacks and eight tackles for loss in 17 games.
