6-12 wks if healable: Minor or partial rotator cuff tears are usually allowed to heal via nonoperative means initially. Physical therpay, appropriate rest, then strengthening or titrated to the needs of each patient and their particular cuff tear. I healing does not work by 6-12 weeks, the tear may well need surgical intervention.

Depends: Rotator cuff tears don't heal for the most part (very tiny tears that don't result in any plastic deformation may heal). This doesn't mean that you will still have symptoms though. So we need a better assessment of what you mean by minor rotator cuff tear...http://www.theshouldercenter.com/rotator-cuff-tear.htm.
