Not really, I think. The actual physical damage is represented only by "health" (which does not regenerate and is only recoverable on rest). Stamina represents how "shattered" or indeed tired character is by a hit (and character is knocked out when it reaches zero). The former is obviously meant to be a somewhat long-term resource, while the latter is meant to be short-term.
The question is what kind of resting mechanic is on the table.
