In the game, when a player gets injured, as he gets closer to being healthy, he can be classified as Out, Doubtful, Questionable or Probable. Then, if he was injured for five games, and is available to play after four games, he is more likely to get re-injured in the game he returns in.
In the new 2024 game, It has the option to set last game of injury to "Always Out". So say a player is injured five games, if this option is chosen, the player will be injured for exactly five games. He would not be Out, Doubtful, Questionable or Probable or potentially healthily after being injured after four games out.
The current rule ( Out, Doubtful, Questionable or Probable) is more realistic. Using "Always Out" would make managing rosters a lot easier.
