According to NFL Network, Dr. Neal ElAttrache and his team performed an operation in which they placed an internal brace on the Achilles, which is fully torn. The brace protects the repair, giving him a chance to open in a few months.

The new process is designed to have athletes return in four months from what are supposed to be season-ending injuries, NFL Network reported.
