Recovery time depends primarily on the fracture location. A mid shaft non displaced fracture of the fibula could heal in 6 weeks.
Something lower down closer to the ankle (looking at the replay that seems more likely) could require pin/plate placement and could take 10 weeks or more.
As a side note, a fracture (hairline) of the fibula was what Bryant supposedly played with in the game against Tennessee in 1935. When asked why he had played he said "well it was just one little bone...."
