Then again, he may have hoped it would heal on its own.

I don't know, this is BIG money. Sports ortho doctors do surgery ASAP with what NFL players pay. I'm more inclined to believe the 2nd point that the team doctors saw improvement and that it would heal itself and the results were not what they expected, so they recommended surgery.
