Well, it depends upon whether the tear was partial or whole. It also depends upon the location of the tear. MRI taken too early after the injury may not show exact size of the tear.
What I would suggest you to do is continue your exercises to improve strength and mobility. Get yourself assessed by qualified physiotherapist or orthopaedician after couple of weeks to know exact status of your problem.
