What is with Tomlin's paranoia with speaking about injuries?

He's trying to emulate Bellichick

or 4) he won't talk about it because it annoys the media and some fans :D

I appreciate this about Tomlin. I would do the same thing in his place. The coach or the team will tell the press anything they need to know about any injuries. The press doesn't need to be going to the players about that kind of thing.
