From what I have read, the tendon itself is not torn, the sheath surrounding the tendon is. We all know how important the sheath can be in holding a tendon in place. Regardless, if allowed to heal properly, surgery is not indicated. Although if he is splinted for a month without moving it, I'd expect him to take a long time getting back into the swing of things. He can't even rehab the injury for one month. I'd figure he'd be back a couple weeks after the AS break.
