Perhaps- the criteria is "season-ending injury" and it must happen in the early season and the team has to apply for it (in essence saying the player won't be back) and it has to be approved by the league.
BUT -- even if they got one, it would be worthless. The Rox have no ability to spend, as they are right up against the hard cap (so close to it they can't even give minimum salary). Getting an exception doesn't alter the hard cap math at all.
