Why does the NFL enforce injury report rules?

The NFL is investigating why quarterback Tony Romo wasn't listed on the official injury report despite his admission that he was playing with broken ribs.

In 2009, the NFL fined the Jets $125K for not disclosing a Brett Favre injury.

What injuries have to be reported? And why? This policy seems like it could pose a threat to injured players as it draws attention to players and body parts that could be targeted by opponents during game time.

What is the reasoning here?
