Because.....If he comes into the game in a deceitful manner, it is IP in Fed.

ART. 4 . . . It is illegal participation:
a. When any player, replaced player, substitute, coach, athletic trainer or other
attendant enters and participates during a down.
b. If an injured player is not replaced for at least one down; unless the halftime
or overtime intermission occurs.
c. To have 12 or more players participating at the snap or free kick.
d. To use a player, replaced player, substitute, coach, athletic trainer or other
attendant in a substitution or pretended substitution to deceive opponents
at or immediately before the snap or free kick.

e. For a player to be lying on the ground to deceive opponents at or immediately
before the snap or free kick.
