I have heard it was a “tear” worse than a “strain” and they were really concerned about his Achilles that would ruin not only this season but could certainly impact the rest of his career.
Publicity around a serious career threatening injury like Achilles would be bad.
Calling it a strain and missing a season does not provide good optics either.
I’m sure there is a reason they chose that language. Hard to speculate which is better…
