You could say that’s all the more reason we need somebody to step up, because you can’t count on him, and that would be fair.
But overall your view seems too pessimistic - we need to build not off the injury depleted squad that finished the year, but off the healthy version of our roster. We certainly need depth everywhere, but more than anything we just need better health.

On the injury side - We know we have a handful of players that have proven to be injury prone. Jordan Reed is one of them. NT Phil Taylor has two years in a row of season ending knee injuries in training camp. Couldn't even make it out of training camp.
We even recently signed a pair of free agents in aging CB Orlando Scandrick that has been battling injuries in recent years and Paul Richardson who has two knee injuries and one severe hamstring injury that handed him on season ending Injured reserve twice in his short career.
Some injuries are flukes. But you have to look at who we are adding to our roster recently. More injury guys.
