He is going to be hobbled al year long and I would guess this is something that likely will plague him for the rest of his career. Connective tissue (ligaments and tendons) heal very slowly because they don't get blood flow like other parts of the body. The little tears might never really heal. The question with tendonitis is how much pain you can endure and how weak it makes the knee in this case. Thankfully Betts is in the bag so this is MUCH less of an issue now.
