But i dunno how you would tear a rotator cuff during the accident... overuse of the muscles in your shoulders is what causes the most common rotator cuff tear.

What I think happened is he had both hands on the wheel as he expected impact, and tensed up. The tensing up and the sudden jerk forward and back may have caused the tear, probably pretty small. But as he continued to use the arm before it got too weak, he may have made it worse.
He's gotta go for an MRI to be sure, but that's what the orthopedist thinks right now.
