Ways to prevent teams from faking dozens of injuries per game??

In game, player has to stay out for the rest of that series and the next two series if an injury timeout is called for them on the field. For player safety.

Then review it after the game. If determined to be fake, suspend the player for the next conference game and fine the head coach $25K for the first offense and an additional $5K ($30K, $35K, $40K, etc.) for each one thereafter.

No place in sports for this!

I want them to penalize this as much as the next guy because it’s so much bullshite but I imagine higher ups are scared to flirt with anything that could be seen as questioning player safety/health.

4 minute power play

Make the player sit out like targeting penalties. Make them sit out the rest of the game. If it happens in the second half, they have to sit for the first half of the next game. You know…for safety.

I could get behind some kind of post game review fine/suspension process. It could definitely help curtail the more obvious offenses.

Rest of series or minimum of 5 plays that would carry over to next series.

Just charge the team a timeout. If they have no timeouts, then it's a 5 yard penalty.

It'll serve the dual purpose to encourage teams and players to be more preventative about things like cramps too.

You want to take away kiffins one weapon? He only used it 24 times today.

Close, but gotta make it a slightly more marginal penalty. Ineligible for return for “10-15” plays to ensure a thorough evaluation is how I would word it if I was the League/PA folks.
