Question for JDB

Ok first let me set the stage in private 75 league this play happened = https://private75.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/431#83427

It looks like the QB throws or pitches the ball to the RB who is Richard Almeida but the ball either hits him in the **** or in the side then the RB runs for a good 5 yards then he gets hit by a defense player which makes the ball come out then it gets recovered by a defense player.
RB = https://private75.myfootballnow.com/player/1671


my question is knowing that Richard Almeida has a neck injury for 3 weeks does that mean he has a better chance of fumbling the football more than say if he wasnt injured???

Or

Does injuries have no bearing on if a player fumbles or even throws a interception???

reason i am asking is if a player is injured and that has a bearing on if he fumbles or throws interceptions or makes more turnovers then really what is the point of having a AVOID FUMBLE on a player.

I get players have to make turnovers because if players never did it would be pretty boring and very unrealistic it is just that RB had a 86 AVOID FUMBLE and he fumbled the ball at least 2 in that play .

His avoid fumble only came into play on the second fumble, it is a counteraction to 'force fumble' by the defensive player. The toss being dropped has an extremely low base probability because you almost never see that in real life, but it's non-zero and obviously got chosen on this play.

As for injuries and fumbling, arm and hand injuries will decrease the avoid fumble attribute impact.
