Thats a really unfortunate amount of damage for a little drop and catch something on the way down kind of a deal. I think we've all had an injury (maybe not that bad!) thats caught us off guard and been a right PITA from something really mundane like stepping on lego and rolling an ankle fully.
Hope it doesn't get him down, 3 months is a lengthy recovery.
Did an ankle twice racing MTB's as a teenager, second time I very much broke it, pins metal work and then metal work back out. Honestly after 18 months it really has never bothered me again. The other ankle and knee though, I guess I walk weird or asymmetric as the other side is a bag of spanners compared to the bolted back together one!
He's probably got a bunch of stuff to do, but get him onto learning a new language or something that'll soak up 3 months of time being on the recovery into a positive new thing*
*or endlessly shop for bike parts and spanner away in the front room :D
