An nfl dr, and a local dr. If there's any disagreement on the diagnoses the player can return. But only if two dr's rule in his favor. And he's signed a waiver.

Well, that is ridiculous, but we're obviously not talking about someone making personal choices for himself. We're talking about an employer who is paying an employee and has a right to protect its interests both in terms of its investment in the player in keeping him healthy for the good of the team as well as liability issues.
What I find funny is that we are obviously used to things like knee injuries in football. If the team sits a player after he hurts his knee, no one raises a stink about it being the player's decision when to return.
