It's a non sequitur assessment when you consider Lee played 27 full games with 30 starts over the two years leading up to a rookie DB in preseason throwing his shoulder square into Lee's knee in full stride. 
He was showing pretty good resiliency for two years prior to a freak injury.
He all but completely shed the old albino tiger monniker IMO, and that weird hit by Kazae was in no way Lee's fault, nor should it contribute to some fragility narrative.

This is the mindset that ended up getting Fred Taylor labeled as fragile. 

Lee had issues with a lingering hamstring injury, and then this catastrophic knee injury thanks to a cheap shot, and suddenly he's just an injury waiting to happen.

My expectations for Lee this year aren't sky high since he's coming back from a serious injury.  His ability to cut and get up to speed are both areas that could be impacted this season.  Hopefully he does return to form, but I think the team is going to make sure they have a backup plan just in case.
