I don't believe that's fully true.
Per this thread (yes, it's reddit but it logically makes sense) - https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/8sew97/how_do_nfl_teams_avoid_disclosing_injuries/

Quote:According to the NFL injury report guidelines, teams have to be specific about injuries and levels of participation in practice on injury reports.


NFL injury reports only apply in-season. In the offseason they have no obligation to report the nature of injuries.

So then it sounds like it's in the middle of what we are both saying. Teams don't have to disclose the nature of injury in the offseason but MUST do so in the regular season.


And then there's this quote about HIPAA specifically...

Quote:Even though the HIPAA laws apply only to health-care providers, the mere existence of HIPAA has created a greater expectation among the public that medical records will be kept secret — even if the actual information contained in them is otherwise fair game.
