Should a player be made to feel as though he has to risk his future health and go against his own principles to compete for a job against a guy willing to do those things? Some people would say tough, deal with it. I happen to think there is something wrong with that scenario.

Pitching a baseball itself is a risk to future health. Playing professional football is a huge risk to future health. How many professional athletes retired with cripping damages to their own bodies and minds? I don't think what you said is really convincing considering the job these guys have. Players who are hiding their injuries to get playing time is essentially doing the same thing: endangering their own health to get ahead of others. Lying too.
