Just making numbers up to illustrate the point, the chances of reinjury might go something like 80%, 40%, 20%, 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1.25%, 0.75%, etc. It will likely never be 100% without surgery, and it's fairly likely he'll go that route in the offseason.
There are lots of videos about it on the interwebs if you'd like to dig around. The gist is that you can think of those tendons like a rubber band that got stretched out way too far. Give it enough time, and it'll shrink back down to pretty close to the size it's supposed to be, but it takes a while, and it'll never be quite the same as it once was.

That’s what I thought, I just meant more specifically to this case if it had been said and I’d missed it.
If they want to hold him out post bye, it’s whatever to me. I get the caution
But at some point, you’ve gotta win games and he gives you the best chance. The goal is to win the super bowl and with the 1 seed now seemingly back in play, it is what it is.
Again I understand big picture and all, but if we or they are that afraid of reinjury and it’s that common or could be that much of a possibility, just have surgery and shut him down until next year.
I’m guessing they’re not goin on a whim here thoigh
