Hyams had a nice piece on this issue, and here's the solution which is fair to all:
(1) Any "injured" player must sit out until the next 1st down; and
(2) No other substitutions on defense (other than the "injured" player) are allowed.
What say ye?

I agree with the third time. If a player goes down three times, he must be legitimately injured and doesn’t need to be out there anyway.The first offense for a defensive player - The player must sit out the remainder of the team's possession and the entire next possession.
The second offense for a defensive player - The player must sit out the remainder of the team's possession and the entire next 2 possessions
The third time - Player is done for the day
I agree. Create a medical section on the bench and don't even let the player even leave the area until the current possession is over. Logically, if a player is injured, there needs to be sufficient time to evaluate the player's condition.Injured player sits the whole series. In the name of Player Safety....only way to stop it.
Either of those would be better than what we have now. I think if a player leaves the game for an injury then the player cannot return for the remainder of the series.
I think they could make it a Defense only rule. The only time they'd need to do something to the offense is if a team is out of timeouts and trying to kill the clock with a fake injury.What happens if with a 1:28 left in game and your team is down by 6 points and the QB gets the breath knocked out of him at your own 20 yard line? Then he has to sit the rest of the game? How does the rule help there?

You're probably right. I do think that for the integrity of the game, they have to get rid of the fake injuries where suddenly a guy goes down like he's been shot. Too many cameras to allow that to keep happening. At least make the defense work at it lol.my opinion is, this will not get addressed anytime soon.. be years of argument from coaches for and against. Just don't think anything happens and readily recognize I could be wrong.
