That would be a pretty controversial rule to push through to say the least.
yea. controversy all around
but at the end of the day, don't see how they could prove if a player is faking or not. they'd never pass a rule forcing a player to sit out 'x' amount of playstoo.
your star QB legitimately gets dinged up from roughing the passer on a crucial set of downs and comes out of the game. decides he feels good enough to go back in the next play but can't because of the sit out rule. your team loses.

Players with legitimate injuries are given sufficient time to be evaluated by training staff and treated before those brutal coaches make them go back into the game and play 4 or 5 plays in a row without a timeout.

The idea of making a "hurt" player stay out of the game for some period of time seems pretty logical to me. After all, if we care about player safety and he was so badly hurt he couldn't make it to the sideline he should have to stay out a few minutes afterwards to be appropriately vetted and cleared to return by the medical staff.
If he's an important player then burn a timeout to stop the clock as already allowed. FWIW, a hurt QB won't be the issue anyway. Players faking injuries are typically on the defense to slow down a HUNH.
