Not sure. Does risk override reason?
Wouldn't surprise me if they did a Corey Allen with him, give him a year to absolutely 100% recover, with a promise of re-signing if he has to the satisfaction of everyone.
It would be a complete disaster if something wasn't right and, worse case scenario applied.
Better to err on the side of caution imo.
Duty of care, if it was me I wouldn’t let him until he had as said above a year off.
