A herniated disk in the neck is pretty serious. I draw the line at putting a player on the field when you're looking at a chance of potential paralysis from the neck down.

Right, and the guy was obviously healthy enough to play.
Personally I'd like to know what the % risk of serious injury was. Was it 1%, 10%, 90%?
If it was something very high I doubt the team would have let him play. But if it was something on the low end I think it's got to be left up to the player.
