Mahogany missed the first three weeks of his inaugural NFL training camp, and will remain on the non-football illness for at least the first four games. While he waits and rebuilds his strength and conditioning, he's doing what he can to be a good teammate.
I was right about HIPAA and those on the NFI (non-football injury) list: The team can’t comment on an injury outside of football without the player’s express consent and the player doesn’t have to tell anyone else if they don’t want to.
HIPAA may not apply the same way for football related injuries, but I don’t entirely know all of the medical legal details, therefore I’ll leave the explanation for that up to any legal counsel who wishes to add it to our collective knowledge.
All true, but there's also the possibility that Mahogany was - or would have been - willing, but the team chooses not to discuss the nature of non-football medical conditions as a matter of principle. .
Is he still able to work out and practice with the team during this NFI period?
