I think you're right, but to go further, I think it will be within the first three weeks to prevent Burfict from playing.

I think this because the league wants to give the advantage to the Steelers while also avoiding such a debacle. What better way for the NFL to justify a Steelers win with a healthy Bell, Brown, and Roethlisberger but no Burfict to lead the hard-nose football against them?
