These sorts of injuries are just bad luck, and it's never good news to see any player young or old go down with a serious knee injury.
If a young player has repeated soft tissue injuries or OP you could probably make a case for saying he had to do too much too early, but with knee injuries IMO it's usually just a case of wrong time, wrong place.
Palmer, Morabito, Otten, Mitch Brown, Kruezer... There have been a few young guys go down recently, but I think it's more coincidence than correlation at this stage.
