Is it safe to wrap my wrist 4 weeks after a "mild salter-harris fracture displacement" to play football?

I do not think that is a good idea.

No. At 4 weeks you do not have adequate healing, and growth plate injuries can cause long term problems if growth plate damage/displacement occurs. You need to wait at least 6-8 weeks and resume play after proper release by your orthopedic doctor based on your X-ray and clinical exam.
