Something I have always wondered, what do teams gain from not disclosing an injury on a player? Happened a little bit ago with Stafford, and seems to be a fairly common occurrence where teams get in trouble for hiding a players injury in some way.

With all the speculation about Russ actually being injured because of his apparent lack of mobility, the question again came up in my mind.

What is there to gain by not simply reporting the player as "ankle - limited practice" throughout the week, and then just "questionable" for the game day report? I mean, the player can still play right? What is there to gain?
