Yes that possibly could be a part of it though he has a had a few decent runs at it, hasn't had a full pre-season yet - though for comparison, Cotchin has only had one full pre-season since he was drafted - but it's not like he's been in & out for a few months at a time his entire career - before this year he's still managed seasons of 17, 18, 17 & 19 senior matches and there's been a suspension or two amongst all that as well, so it hasn't always been injuries that've cost him matches.
