I dont want to make it worse but he has to find something to do because he has put on some weight. He read that he can swim so he has been donig that on the weekends with his boys.

Yeah you do have to be somewhat careful with tendons. If they get messed up it can be a long road. My buddy hurt his Achilles tendon at the gym, let it heal up for 6 weeks then snapped it climbing on to a boat and was out for a year.
I'm not sure about the bike. The doc probably won't know either unless he's a sports doc. If he can bike with the boot on then maybe, but if it hurts he'll have to stop.
The upper body weight lifting is a no brainer though. If he's putting on weight then he needs to reduce the calories while he's not working out to head it off at the pass.
