I don't think the league would let this story go that route because then it calls into question all of their safety measures to protect players from head injuries.
Even if he claims he was dazed, he's still responsible for his actions. I'm sure they don't want to set a precedence that if you get hit, you're free to do anything just because you're "out of it". That'll be every player's excuse if they're ever retaliating from a hit.
