Intent doesn’t matter. If you’re injured enough to stop play then the repercussion is you have to sit out. Stingers, cramps, all sorts of things is enough to require some down time. If it turns out to be longer than needed he can thank the plethora of coaches and athletes who abused the rule (** cough Indiana cough **).Exactly. No way to truly enforce this. Players get stingers all the time, cramps, all sorts of things that might cause you to go down for a play or two.
