Thank you! Like I said, it was just a passing comment by me that maybe there was a link. I never claimed to know what the heck I was talking about. I'm glad there is no connection.
No worries! Sorry if it sounded curt.

This is the key:
"The thing that I think is important here is you don't manage concussions by a calendar," Dr. Herring said. "Some guys may come back in a week. Some guys may come back in six weeks. These steps don't have an expiration date on them. The player's history of injury and other issues come into play."
Once a team doctor signs off on a player's return, the player is evaluated in person by an unaffiliated concussion expert physician approved by both the NFL and NFL Players Association. This unaffiliated expert also must sign off on the player's health before he is allowed to return to play."
