I would have to evaluate the situation on an individual basis. No one-size-fits-all answer. Depending on the situation, and the trainer, I might allow his assessment to help form my decision.
There's no rule against that.
But there is a rule about allowing an player rendered unconcious to return the game without written authorization from a physician. So, if the AT convinces me that the player was unconcious, the player will need that note to get back in the game.
And if I am to err, I will err toward the side of caution. If the trainer is adamant that the player was knocked out, the kid is probably gone until complying with the rules for coming back.
