Faking Injuries

NEW YORK (The Blaze/AP) — The NFL sent a memo Wednesday to all 32 teams warning of fines, suspensions and loss of draft picks if the league determines players faked injuries during a game.

In the memo obtained by The Associated Press, the NFL reminded teams of league policy that calls on coaches to discourage the practice, and that there was no specific rule on the topic.

However, two days after there was speculation the Giants‘ Deon Grant faked an injury against the Rams during Monday night’s game, the NFL is warning of disciplinary action.

Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said Tuesday the team notified the league office that it suspected the Giants were feigning injuries in St. Louis’ 28-16 loss. Rams quarterback Sam Bradford said it was obvious the Giants were just buying time with St. Louis running a no-huddle offense.

“They couldn’t get subbed, they couldn’t line up,” Bradford said. “Someone said, ‘Someone go down, someone go down,’ so someone just went down and grabbed a cramp.”

Total bullshit, it happens in tennis too. Player is on a losing streak and calls for an injury timeout. Pretty simple, if it happens during a hurry up offense, then that player shouldn't be able to return until a possession change.

I just heard today that one of the Giants players actually suffered a torn ACL after some spectacular catch - is this same player?

No, this was on defense. Rams were on the hurry up offense, wearing the defense down so they just collapsed to get an injury timeout. Came right back in on the next play.
