This just isn’t the case for many injuries. While it may be painful and he doesn’t have full mobility, some injuries don’t “heal up” and don’t get worse by just sitting. At most he could have gotten his surgery earlier but that would change nothing.
The only question for such injuries is whether the replacement is better or worse than Monahan at 50% or whatever he was.
