I don't need an injured player, or a possibly injured player, getting run over by the herd just to keep the game moving.

I agree with the conclusion in your example. That play, however, doesn't, in my experience, happen "a couple of times a season." I can't remember the last time I stopped play for an injury and then the player was ready to before the coach could be beckoned.
