Can you be flagged for promotion based off an injury?

I will try to make this short and sweet but I have a serious question. While my unit is out at JRTC I’m on Rear duty showing up to formations, cleaning, and doing what is needed to be done for the day. I was just on staff duty not to long ago and I checked my ERB and I seen I was Flagged for promotion. I was shocked that the commander would actually sign off on this and to be honest feel I am not a bad soldier. I am currently going to get surgery on my hip, an injury that has been bothering me for 6 months. (On and off profile till we knew what the issue was.) So I have not done a actual record company PT test in a long time. But a month ago I did two PT tests (not on profile) and passed both with ease besides the run. I was 1/5 guys in my PLATOON e-4 and below that actually passed their PT test and I was hurting. Of course the run wasn’t my old 13:00 minute 2 mike run but I passed. But was thinking since it was not record maybe they didn’t count that.

Before all this I felt I was getting harassed by my platoon sergeant. I have brought this up to many of my leadership such as squad leaders and team leaders and out of all of them I’ve only had one who actually helped with the situation. As time moved on right before this Sgt left, he brought me into the office for a recommendation for non promotion. He brought three negative counseling statements out of my folder and read them. 1 for pushing a buddy of mine while we were upset at each other last year. 2 for my squad as a whole not communicating well together, and 3 I didn’t have plates on my newly owned vehicle and he did not want me to drive it. That was it and all that was in my folder. In the counseling was things such as I need to improve communication and also be able to physically and mentally ready to do my job. Which comes the question what if I am hurt. I am currently back on profile after my MRI and Athrogram. Going to get surgery like I said the 13th and waiting to go to WTU battalion.

I am not claiming to be the perfect soldier but I see worst soldiers get promoted and slipped under the rug just for being liked. So can you be flagged for promotion based off injury? Or could it be the recommendation and if so would paperwork from the PA and Westpoint validate my case? Please help.

As extra here I did sign agree to the counseling stating I was read what was on the counseling. I personally don’t agree with what was said on it but I know how signing a counseling a works. Thanks!
