This is an interesting proposition, if it could be adjudicated fairly. The problem is the massive grey area of diagnosis and prognosis.

How about having more players on the roster with the same cap?

This will have the effect of forcing down wages, reducing the effect of any one player having a catastrophic impact on the financials, as well as having more players to rotate in, reducing fatigue, which is the biggest contributor to injuries (aside from questionable hits).
