He didn't literally say "I can't say anything right now." He said - "I can’t say that Derek’s coming back. I can’t say he’s not coming back. Both would be incomplete statements I guess. I’m sorry. I hate it."

By saying "both would be incomplete statements" avoids Jeff's lie of omission which implied that Derek's role on the show would simply be reduced.
