Recently while listening to an announcer on a radio broadcast he stated that if the coach used a timeout the injured player could return to the game and not have to set out for one play. He was incorrect when he said this, here is the rule and a play from the casebook that covers it.
3-5
ART. 10... An official's time-out (which is not charged to either team) occurs, and the player shall be replaced for at least one down, unless halftime intermission or an overtime intermission occurs when:
a. An apparently injured player is discovered by a game official while the ball is dead and the game clock is stopped and for whom the ready-for-play is delayed, or for whom the game or play clock is stopped.

3.5.10 SITUATION A
A game official stops the game or play clock when he notices quarterback A1 has a bloody nose. A1 is directed to go to his team box. The coach of A then requests a time-out and A1's bleeding is stopped during the time-out. A1 re-enters with other teammates following the time-out.
A1 must remain in the team box for at least one down. A time-out called after a game official has stopped the clock for an injured player does not allow the injured player to remain in the game. Any conference during the official’s time-out must be held outside the 9-yard marks. If the coach’s request for a charged time-out is granted, either type of conference may be used, but A1 may not re-enter the game until one play has elapsed and cannot participate in an on-field conference.
