I get that we want to complain and act like we know what's going on for every single issue but lets get a grip here.
The players have a player's association and agents to protect them from mean teams that make them play when they're hurt.
Now is there a code? Sure there is. But if the players is diagnosed not to get worse from playing that's up to him to either break or conform to. The code exists because of players stubbornly playing when they were hurt, it will have to be nixed or changed by players saying forget it.

"I've never seen a guy play through anything like that."
