I am sure the league has some agreement set up for the release of injury information but just because you are a fan does not give you the "right" to know the medical condition of anyone. Under the rules I would say that the player also would have to agree to the disclosure of the information.
HIPAA would apply to the doctor treating the injury, but not to a coach. HIPAA also doesn't apply to Worker's Compensation injuries which occur on the job.
