Yes. Mason had a concussion. Because of cap tightness, he agreed to act as backup but was not supposed to play. Knowing that, Berube pulled whoever it was (can't remember) early in the game and put Mason in. Reese was furious and ended up leaving the organization shortly thereafter, probably for describing Berube's integrity and intelligence the way we all would - total idiot and moron - for putting Mason's long term health at risk for no good reason.
Mason was coming back from knee surgery, not a concussion. But that story about Reese blowing up at Berube which came from Seravalli, has been confirmed as false by Bill Meltzer.

Jeff Reese never had a confrontation with Craig Berube over Mason's return from the knee injury. The story that Frank Seravalli reported was wrong.
