From my understanding, another issue with IR is you can only have 8 people designated to return over the course or a year. I think we've already used or have plans to be using 5 of them. If they think he can heal during that time maybe they don't want to use up another one of those slots this early in the season.
They could also be waiting for more information about how severe the injury is before they place him on IR.
