it is fair game for a defense to take advantage of the rules and fake injuries to get their substitutions in.
Faking an injury isn't taking advantage of the rules.
There is no rule that says "if a defense needs a stoppage in play because they are tired and/or confused, an artificial injury may be used to induce said stoppage".
Faking an injury is ABUSING the rules. Specifically abusing rules put in place to ensure the safety and health of players that are ACTUALLY injured.
Dumbass.

No rule says you can't. Therefore it is within the rules. Does it stretch the rules and hurt the game? Sure. But it is a natural reaction to offensive coordinators stretching the rules and running no huddle all game where a D can't substitute.
