Indianapolis Colts President Bill Polian vividly recalls a time when the general feeling around the NFL was it was very much not OK to feign injury.

As Polian sees it, that’s not quite the case any more.

Polian on his weekly radio show on Monday evening addressed the issue of opposing players feigning injuries to slow the Colts’ no-huddle offense. He said while he had no proof the San Francisco 49ers –or any team had done so – circumstantial evidence suggests that over the past decade, “it has happened to us fairly frequently.”

“First of all, I can not tell you whether or not any player is or is not feigning an injury,” Polian said on his weekly radio show on 97.1 Hank FM a day after the Colts moved to 7-0 with an 18-14 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

“You have to draw your own conclusions on that. I can tell you from first-hand experience there is a rule on the book that precludes and makes it illegal to feign injuries.”
