Consecutive timeout after injury

This is not about right or wrong for me. But if you cannot call a timeout without a replacement (does not specify what team under 5-8-3b), then would that not come under all situations? Because an injured player has to be replaced before a timeout is called, why does it matter who calls the first timeout?

I am also asking this, because I thought the NF put on their website a play similar to this and said they could be substituted. Especially when there was confusion over when and who the timeout and if they could come back into the game.

I can see where you say what you are saying, but it seems like that is not clear from the straight rule. Because the rules makes a distiction as to what an injured player can do and when they can come back in the game. But then they say a replaced player cannot come back in until the clock runs. But I thought the NF had this covered specifically in the casebook and they apparantly did not.

Just asking.
