From the article:

"Defensive players faking injuries might be a real problem, but there's not much officials on the field can do about it. There's currently no rule on the books forbidding players from faking injuries -- and that's mainly because it's impossible for an official to know if a player is actually faking an injury."
The only way to address it is to punish players and coaches after the fact if it's proven; sort of like the Saints' bounty scandal.
