If it was a severe break, he'd be on IR. So I have to believe he has some chance to play through it. Assuming there is a break.
The most common thumb fracture for football players is a Bennett's Fracture which occurs at the base of the thumb. It happens when the thumb gets bent backwards like when a punted ball hits the hand wrong. It almost always requires surgery to pin and stabilize. If this is his injury he will be out at least 8 weeks. 6 weeks for the fracture to heal and then at least several weeks for hand rehab.
