As a player, I like the workaround for an injury that's at least 7 weeks (before that just seems too much as exploiting the game). As a Commish, I hate crap like that.

I would probably talk to the player first and ask him not to do it again. If it happens a second time with that player, I'd probably come up with some sort of punishment and a new league rule.

I really dislike having rules outside of the game, but some people play the system rather than play the game.
