I think they are using the 4-6 weeks to get other opinions and to "see how things go" but I think in the back of their mind they know his season could be done. Again, just my opionion.
I cannot find much information how long a hairline fracture of the pelvis takes (which is what one poster noted it to be), but the Cleveland Clinic states "fractures of the pelvis" normally take 8 to 12 weeks. And if one returns too early, there is increased risk of it turning into a more serious injury. But, the various sites also note that some heal faster than others (such as children), so it would be hard to set a timetable for any one individual. So, I do understand your concern that this could be longer than 6 weeks.
