I don't see why some see a conflict with Werder's reporting and there being no announcement.
They've (thankfully) decided internally that Jason won't be back in any capacity, but Jerry is so heartbroken and "respectful" he doesn't want to announce it yet. Jason is whistling past the graveyard and carrying on as usual, hoping he can talk Jerry into keeping him. Stephen or somebody very close to him is probably the one who let Werder know.
I do understand wanting the stake to be officially put in Garrett's heart, because the guy keeps coming back from dead like the villain in a bad horror movie. But I think he's a goner.
