I know that ruptured achilles is a dreaded injury in the NFL, especially at running back.

Try not to pretend you know a thing about medical practice, you muppet.

Low blood flow to tendons (and ligaments) means they take 6-9 months to be back to 100%. Not 6 weeks like muscles can.
All the load from the calf muscles contraction goes through it.
Hope for the best, fear for the worst.
Another loss and he can have 4-5 months rest.

Haha no I know, I stand by my comment...I can't imagine SJ is anywhere near full fitness. Of course there's a medical team who know more than me, and are seeing more than I'm seeing. I'm just surprised, hearing him on his podcast and knowing Achilles injuries are no easy matter.
