Quote:I think there are multiple possible outcomes of this. 

 

Players safety could increase by hiding an nagging injury. If a player is going to play through an injury no matter, you don't have to list it and reveal to the opponents what that injury is. You always hear retired players talk about how if someone has an injury shoulder they would hit that first to see how bad it really is. That could be limited.

 

I'm not sure teams will use it like that, or just list everyone as questionable. I know it seem like there already too many rules and regulations, but you cannot make teams use any injury designation completely correctly unless there is some sort of punishment for gaming the system. Not sure how to do that, maybe if at the end of the year like 75% of players listed as questionable played during the game, then team faces some sort of fine? I know it gives Goodell even more punishment power, but it would be the only thing that would work.
