NFL 2014

Players agents would lose their minds if that was a rule. Not that, that is a bad thing. Players stats are their bread and butter.

If it were for a quarter I'd agree, but currently players assisted off the field have to sit out at least one play unless a timeout is called. Going by averages, (65-70 plays per game, 12 possessions per team per game), that's still only about 6 plays per series on average. Increasing it from 1 play to 5 plays unless a timeout is called? Completely feasible, but making it for a series instead of a set number of plays attacks the actual goal of players not faking injury for a rest on long drives.

It's a sound suggestion Cutz, that's why the NFL will never do it.
