No, but he was a higher round pick that came into the league with bad knees. So the position of trusting the player to be fine (before we see him take one NFL snap) because “the team did their homework” on him doesn’t hold water. The team has seemingly done their homework on players with injury baggage before only to see the injuries become too much for those players to overcome.
You might want to just call it what it is: a calculated risk.
We don’t know what caused him to get the boot for sure, but he certainly hasn’t become an impact player at his position and the knees have had a good amount to do with that. Easley lived off of an explosive first step which he no longer has. Michel could either go the Easley/Mitchell route or he could go the Ajayi route. Let’s hope for the latter.
