We don't even know whether the injury is due to him being overplayed or not, I'm not sure why that's the consensus on this sub right now

It's true that we cannot know that for sure. Traditionally it was believed ACL injuries was usually a result of a one off situation/accident, but in later years there have been studies that suggest that overplaying (cumulative stress) can result in a tear/rupture in lower load situations. Gavis injury does visually appear to happen in a situation you wouldn't expect the ACL to fail so easiliy.
