HIPAA, specifically the Privacy Rule. Along those lines, I don't recall anyone, much less pro athletes, being required to disclose details on any medical conditions regarding them or their family. My best friends' wife was pregnant with twins. You know the outcome. Shaw did go home, twice - from June 5-7 (paternity) and then again from June 9-13 (bereavement). Travis didn't take bereavement leave. His daughter had open heart surgery. As far as we know she is doing well.
