Finally, 14 games is a partial season? He might not have started, but he saw time in all but two games. I'd say that's a bit more than "partial."

Depending on the context and technically speaking, yes, that's a partial season. 14 games isn't 16 games. But, I wouldn't be listing his season as "partial" if the 14 games he was in were a little more substantial.
10 out of 14 games with 10 carries or less doesn't constitute a full season to me. We're talking about a concern for his durability and he didn't even come close to playing a full season yet still managed to get dinged/hurt on multiple occasions in his abbreviated playing time. Now, he'll be coming off of knee surgery to start next year. Minor surgery, but the fact remains he's having issues already and his career is barely a year old.
For a guy who's "good" and not "great", it isn't encouraging to see him having to deal with injuries already. Having him slow down at all will only take away from his goodness.
