I think what happened with AJ is that he tried to come back too soon. He never should have played in the last pre-season game. As Flip said he had reduced strength in his bad ankle/leg.
I think he pushed himself too hard wanting to come back sooner than he should have thereby aggravating the Achilles.
You are correct. Better to safe than sorry, but Hot Rod's injury to his left hand is not as big a problem if he comes back a little too soon as long as the bones are sufficiently healed. With AJ's ankle injury if you play before it is fully healed and the necessary muscle strength in the leg area is not rebuilt you can mess up too many other parts of your ankle/leg and even your back, which is not the case with a hand injury.
