I don't care what that says the literal definition is. Most people don't consider injured players busts.

They're typically called 'injury busts.'

Soft tissue injury now means getting a metal rod inserted in the bone of your leg.

Also, no one gets labeled a bust in year 1 - even for poor play.

Injured guys who never perform up to expectations are routinely called busts.
Oden had a clear injury flag and Portland took the risk over sure thing Durant, he is a huge bust as the number one pick.
Hell, people call RG3 a bust and he was the ROY.

When they run the top busts on sports center for each sports, you rarely see players who's careers were cut short from injury.

I know some hate it, but can't help but like how Bears handled Kevin White's Injury
Yes, nothing say "good job" like getting rid of a perennial 1200 yard pro-bowler - while sill taking a 6 million dollar cap hit, forcing you to use your first ever draft pick as a GM on his replacement. Then using that pick on a receiver who had one semi-decent college season running a grand total of 3 routes all from one side of the field. Then finding out he has leg issues and hiding it from the fans for 6 weeks. Then lying to us by telling us it so minor that it was a day-to-day issue. Then lying to us again by telling us he might miss all of camp, just to be on the safe side. Then lying to us again by telling us he would miss all of pre-season games - purely precautionary. Now telling us that he requires leg surgery and may miss the whole season.
Well done Pace...

RG3 is a bust because he can't play QB. Can't read the defense.

#Bears Rookie safety Adrian Amos was playing with the starters today, in place of Brock Vereen. John Fox said he earned that look.

Sorry, I completely forgot about the world renown "SportsCenter Draft Study," or the "SCDS," as I like to #callit.

Could you stop derailing the thread with bust misinformation please? This thread is about kevin white's shin, not your inaccurate definitions
