If a team doctor says a player has to wear a cast or a brace in order to play I don't think the player can refuse.

Of course they are. Players get independent medical opinions all the time. 

Now an owner could probably say: "You cannot play unless you follow the advice of our doctors" but I don't know how long that would fly....now if the NFL mandated it; that's different. Those things are agreed upon by the owners and NFLPA.
