It's because the NFLPA is now involved and they don't want to see any of their players unjustly suspended. Coaches, GM's and teams have little say, but the players union carries a big stick. Expect to see fines and a few suspensions.

You are correct about the NFLPA, but this issue cuts both ways. The leadership can't afford to be seen as being lax on the need to help protect players from injury and supporting behavior that is clearly outside the rules and maybe even outside the law.
