until it heals sufficiently a broken jaw will easily be re-broken by any contact to either side (or the bottom) of the face. You are extremely vulnerable, and there is no good way to protect it.
with a busted jaw you are out for a while, though he may be able to train more easily than with abunch of other injuries, so could conceivably come back at closer to full speed than usual
