..when you start thinking you can game the system to control when the injury bug strikes in this sport, it's probably time to look for a new line of work.
Of course every situation is slightly different, ie I'm good with a player who is already injured and doesn't want to risk aggravating it just before going pro, Ala Kyle Hamilton, but when perfectly healthy players skip games to dodge injury I think that is bad form.
