I have always thought that injuries from illegal hits ( against the rules illegal not against the law) should have the penalty begin after the injured player recovers.
A few years back Jim McMahon of the Bears got Spiked a few long seconds after the play and missed a few games. I think the offending player's penalty should have been enforced after NMac got back..... a penalty of 2 games.. plus the 3 games McMahon missed for a total of 5 games.
